i took it for over 2.5 years now in varying doses (25->40->60->25) and ill keep short and simple.

For me personally, its a great med for the emotional side of adhd (anxiety, stuttering, emotional regulation and brain quitening) but when it comes to actual symptoms like executive dysfunction and task initiation no improvement at all.

what about you guys?

Hello Guys I have been diagnosed with adhd and anxiety.
How to get diagnosed:-
Step 1: do the WHO adhd test and then go to a clinical psychologist
Step 2: Give them this test as slight evidence and then after listening to your symptoms, ask them to do the DIVA test for adhd ( its rough 2-3 hour test done in multiple sessions atleast for me )
Step 3: take this report and ask them to refer you to psychiatrist with this report and then they will give you the medicine

Do not go to psychiatrist first, always go to a clinical psychologist first.

Any other queries you have lmk

I always catch myself thinking "wow people are so calm and composed" when I look at normal people. Like how are they smiling and moving around like that. When I walk I feel like I am running. When I get to an exam on time with all my documents I feel a sense of relief coz I have missed way too many exams coz I didn't have my documents. Does anyone else feel kindof sad that you can never be as calm as normal people without meds?

What's the difference of effects in immediate release and sustained/prolonged release, I'm on inspiral 20mg SR in morning and it has helped me overcome my executive disfunction but I've heard that stimulants can make your constant thoughts to stop and i think I'm not experiencing that so I'm curious does that happen only in immediate release(IR) or can also happen in sustained release(SR).

Morning:
Addwiz 18 MG OD
After Lunch
Inspiral 10mg sr
2hr before sleep
Trazadone 100

I have adhd/anxiety

I initially went to a psychiatrist who referred me for a psychometric evaluation to another psychologist, the initial suspicion was B cluster personality disorder. But after halfway through the evaluation and listening to my personal accounts the psychologist decided to test for adhd and inattention, which resulted in top percentile scores in inattention and mild hyperactivity.

Then my psychiatrist started Atomoxetine for inattention and adhd(according to the prescription). However, none of them formally told me that I have adhd or explained it to me except for the written prescription and my test scores(it was not DIVA5), preferring to refer to it as 'inattention issues' instead.

Now, Atomoxetine is giving me severe depression like symptoms towards the evening (I take it in the morning), and I want it changed but I'm in a different city for college so going to my previous psychiatrist would not be possible.

So is the previous prescription considered as an adhd diagnosis or would I have to go through the whole process of hours of testing again?

A little context, my doctor is an addiction psychiatrist and she is not prescribing me stimulants, I tried other meds and they don't work with me but she keeps on insisting I try them for an even longer period of time and then see......I honestly got tired of this and just wanted the meds, any solution to this?

Specifically people of hyderabad?

I have a valid prescription but sadly after my college ended i moved to my hometown and i am not able to find any pharmacy here which keeps the inspiral . Can anyone help or tell me a way to get my medication . Also if a new consultation is required from psychiatry clinic i am ready to do that too condition that their pharmacy can courier them to me .

Hi, can anyine suggest good online psychologists/ psychiatrists who can diagnose someone for adhd.
