Suggest Treatment For Adult Attention Deficit Disorder

Im add and have been taking vyvanse 60 for about 8 months now, and i dont like the way it makes me act. i get really mean and find it hard to be patient at times. after about 2 or 3 hours after i take it i get really down and dont want to talk to anyone. i just found out that vyvanse was for adhd, so i went to my dr and told him all about it and he just acted like i was crazy and said he didnt know what i was talking about. when i dont take it im myself but can not focus at all. i work about 50 hrs a week and take care of a 2yr old on my own. i have 2 brothers who take adderall and so i told my dr i would like to see if that would be better for me. he told me i needed to go see a head dr first but, i have no time. what should i do

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I can understand the state you are in. Because of the chronic nature of ADD, Just psychiatric treatment may not be enough for a cure. Many researches and researchers confirm that medicines alone cannot cure mental disorders. Life style changes, change in thinking pattern, relaxation etc are as essential as medicines. Psychotherapy can help you changing your lifestyle and thinking patterns. Yoga and meditation help you to streamline your metabolism and neurological balance. Please consult a psychologist for further information.

Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

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