Can Restarting Addreall For ADHD The Right Decision?
I take lisinopril and really need to go back to taking Adderall which I took years ago to manage my adhd. I have tried to manage it with relaxation and other techniques but it is not working. my life feels out of control I don t finish tasks, I am struggling with my job due to a lack of completion or organization. I am 54 and it feels like my adhd is worse now. My 14 year old is going crazy she says I wont sit still and watch a movie, she says I will start one thing then go to another, she wants my help with homework but I make her nuts. Please let me know because I want to bring this up to my doc and I don t completely trust his judgement and would like a second opinion. Thank you, Syndi

Hello
Welcome here.
Adult ADHD is to be differentiated from bipolar disorder.
I think you should visit a psychiatrist for detailed evaluation as the choice of medicine will depend on the correct diagnosis
If you are sure that its ADHD, restarting adderall is not the wrong decision.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
