Is RX Extended Is The Better Option For The Symptoms Of ADD And Am Looking For A Short Term Course Of Adderall?
I am a 44 year old male in Fort Lauderdale Florida, I seem to have all the symptoms of ADD. Looking to try a short term course of Aderall. Or generic would probably be wiser $$. I open to non extended release but based on much research on line and talking to others who have tried the RX extended seems the better option?? My primary care is with the VA but they are over the top insane about trying anything but prescription this kind of controlled RX. Which I respect but I need to try to help myself. My ability to function is getting unmanagable. Can you treat patients here in Broward County florida and or write RX. ??
its seem ur a case of adult onset ADHD. in ur case u need a extended release tablet can could help u to control symptoms. In ADHD u can take either Amphetamine or methylphenidate to control symptoms. U did not mention the dose of adderall. if u r not feeling improvement with amphetamine, u can take methylphenidate 10mg in a day which gradually increase up to 80mg. For further query u can consult ur psychiatrist.
thanks
