No, do some boring shit like see a doctor or whatever Should I try my kid's ADHD meds? - Results (59 votes) Try it, you'll turn your life around! 20.34% (12 votes) 12 No, do some boring shit like see a doctor or whatever 79.66% (47 votes) 47 So my 10yo is diagnosed & receiving medication for ADHD, and has been for a few years. As I've learned more about it, I've come to realize I almost certainly have it myself. After a switch in medication (from Concerta to Focalin, IIRC), we have about half a bottle of the old medication that isn't being used.

LordoftheMorons 12/17/21 4:44:04 AM #3:	Definitely not; even if you do actually have it the dosage could be too high for you, you could react negatively to Concerta specifically, you could miss a drug interaction (e.g. Concerta should not be taken with alcohol) etc. It sounds like talking to a doctor about it could be a good idea, though! --- Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ! <cite>LordoftheMorons posted [p:960988302] in POLL: Shou...

HeroDelTiempo17 12/17/21 11:14:57 AM #12:	Only if you can't get your own diagnosis and prescription If it ends up helping you then you'll need to get more anyways. If it doesn't help that only means ONE ADHD medication didn't work. Either way a doctor probably gets involved. --- I definitely did not forget to put the 2020 GOTD Guru winner, azuarc in my sig! <cite>HeroDelTiempo17 posted [p:960993597] in POLL: Shou...
