Should I try my kid's ADHD meds?
Vote
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. Should I try it and see if it helps me? --- Jessie she/her ...

You should consult your doctor --- https://imgtc.com/i/iJnhdkc.gif https://imgtc.com/i/j45EVGx.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

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! ...

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! ... Copied to Clipboard!
