What Is The Best Medicine For ADHD?

I have been given a trial diagnosis of adult ADHD and have been prescribed Vyvanse. So far, I m not sure If I notice any difference or effectiveness. I don t notice much side effects, either. I ve had the dose upped to 40. I ve been taking it for almost a month. Does this mean I don t have the disorder?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I don't think there is anything called trial diagnosis and treatment for that. If you have been prescribed with vyvanse by a psychiatrist, he must have diagnosed you for ADD or related mental health problems. You may consult that psychiatrist again if you feel that you do not require that medicine. Secondly, ADD is treated with a combination of psychiatric drugs, cognitive behavior therapy, exercise and meditation. Please request your psychiatrist to advise you on this regard.

If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
