Suggest Treatment And Medication For Impulse Control Problems And Severe ADHD

I take a large amount of concerta daily. 108mg when I wake up and 54 in the afternoon. I m a 31 yr old male. Is this too much and proper for someone with impulse control and serious ADHD. I was a very very heavy/daily cocaine user for almost 10 years... Sleeping is not possible with various different aids (trazadone, zoploclone, sunlinox, etc)...should I be taking all this?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concern. You were aheavy cocain user fo ten years, so its not very easy to control your impulse. You have to continue with the medicine. you are taking approximately 162 mg concerta per day. Daily doses beyond 72 mg is not recommended. Try to decrease it upto that level. you can try alternative ways like yoga, meditation, pranayam, detoxifying massages. These will help to alleviate your symptom. Take proper meal and plenty of water. Try always to maintain a time table.
