Hi all, diagnosed at 46 few months ago. Finally started 18mg of Matoride Xl (methyphenidate) and I'm dissapointed. Thought it was going to be a light switch moment and it wasn't. I feel a bit crap. Yawning madly for first 2 hours then just kind of floating through the day. Not ultra focussed, just normal, except no appetite. Today feel even worse. Unfocused, tired, eyesight funny, really low, headachy and bit nauseous. Dont want to interact with anyone. Senses seem really heightened. Everthing louder than normal and brighter. Not sure if its the meds or the dissapointment but I feel really sad because I suddenly feel on my own again after feeling like I had finally found 'my tribe'.Scared that this means I don't have adhd and I'm back at square 1 again. Got kids, hubby and job that I'm trying to hold down. Any words of advice gratefully received. Eva x

Try a different potion?
It's not the end of the world when one of them doesn't work.

Hi Eva, I would contact your doc/psychiatrist and explain your symptoms if possible? Or maybe give it a few more days, up to a week, to see if things settle? There are others available though so all is not lost.

Speak to your psychiatrist / titration nurse and explain how you are feeling. Either you'll need to stick with it a little longer to see if the symptoms improve otherwise you can look into other types of medication or treatment.
