What Can You Do If You Feel Like Your Medications Aren’t Working?
If you feel that your ADHD medications have stopped working, Robb highly recommends speaking to your doctor.
Then, they might reevaluate your dosage or switch you to another drug brand.
Ask yourself questions like when you start feeling locked in or wandering off after taking the medicine.
You werent getting Adderall.
Youre getting something that could be anything, she said.
If you feel that your medications are different from before, speak to your pharmacist.
It also helps to take a 10-minute break for every 30 minutes of work.
Dont ration your medications because of drug shortages or double the dosage at home without consulting your doctor first.
