| I started Guanfacine around six weeks ago for ADHD. Whilst it’s had an excellent impact on my executive functioning and reduced sensory overload, my emotions seem dampened. I’m reluctant to discontinue because the reduction in external sounds is a blessing but at the same time I don’t want to fall b... |

| Two years after my autism diagnosis in 2015, I was diagnosed with the combined presentation of ADHD at the grand age of 27. After experiencing initial benefits on low doses of ritalin (my 5-10mg), I now become extremely tired and rather 'foggy' within an hour of administering the same dose. I suspec... |

| I’m 28 and moved into a studio flat in September. However, I quit my job in October and as a consequence I’m struggling somewhat with my finances. Whilst I welcome the opportunity to have my own space, I do find that I’m spending about 70% of my time back at my mother’s house. I’m finding that I bec... |

My GP isn’t a great help when it comes to ADHD. 
He invariably concludes that I’m depressed and suggests trying an anti-depressant. |

| Have you tried other stimulants &/or Wellbutrin/Bupropion :?: I'm wondering if switching to a different med that works in kind of a similar way would help :? I’ve tried Elvanse and Concerta but it was the instant release formulation of methylphenidate that proved to be the most beneficial. Unfo... |

Thanks, Ferris.
It would be immensely disappointing if I have to stop taking Ritalin altogether as it’s the only medication that has ever calmed down my sensory system. |

| I’ve been taking small doses of instant release Ritalin for about seven months now. Whilst it was incredible for my ADHD during the first two months or so, now I become almost incapable of thought after about an hour of taking it. It’s strange and extremely frustrating because I’m only taking 5-7.5m... |

It’s rare for me to have a day when I can concentrate.
But I do have both ASD and ADHD. Ritalin helps a bit but brain fog is something that has plagued me most of my life. |
