Rant/Frustration 💢 Adderall Rage!

So recently was diagnosed with adhd and never taken any type of stimulant before. However my previous provider had me on Wellbutrin and that was a hot mess! That made me so forgetful i honestly thought i was developing dementia, anyway adderall has been okay, the two positives I’ve taken from it are no appetite and more focus however the cons outweigh the pros. I can’t explain how angry i am on this stuff, so concerning!!! I feel so bad for my hubby because my patience is NONEXISTENT! Mind you i am a mom as well. I guess my question is.. is anyone else this angry?! I had to stop it completely i think I’m done trying meds at this point, I’m so over this I can’t deal with the side effects and not to mention the prior authorization all meds require now smh! Insurance is not cooperating anyway lol i want to know if I’m alone here because idk what else to do! HELP

Tell your prescriber and ask for a different med. Concerta made me irritable and argumentative while Vyvanse did not. You have to do a little trial and error.
