I am 19M and I had diagnosed with ADHD 3 month; my psychiatrist gave me starttera 6mg and said to eat half a tablet for 14 days. After 14 days, no improvement so he increased dose to 18 mg full tablet this time. He said to eat it for 14 days. No major improvement also this time, he said to eat the same meds for 21 days. I was losing few minor improvements that I had got earlier from using it. After that he prescribed the same again for 1 month. Now, I am currently on 14th day of current one month period, with no major improvement.
I forgot to add, I also have issues with my sleep and anxiety disorder. And I also, be autistic. He had given me 2.5 mg melatonin for sleep. I even, tried to ask what issue I have, is it ADHD/Autism. My GI doc gives me addvitamin Max, amitriptyline, ppi for Gerd, he had consult mental health doc as he suspect I have anxiety too. TBH amitriptyline now works better than starttera for me.
