I got diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. And my doc first recommended atomoxetine saying it's safer than stimulants.

But then some things went wrong in my personal life and I went back to doc, he ran some cardiac tests and finally gave me methylphenidate. Been taking it for 4 days now but I am not sure if anything is happening.

I've read it changing lives of other ADHDers and I had a lot of hope especially on the stimulant. But so far I don't feel it doing anything. I am even taking atomoxetine too as the doc said.

What should I do?

Atomoxetine suddenly stopped working for me after about 6 months. Methylphenidate just made me feel off. Lysdexamfetamine (Elvanse) was the ticket. I stopped taking it years ago and now only take a fractional dose very occasionally, only when I absolutely have to.
