ive tried all the behavioural,therapeutic & dietary changes but they didnt work.Ive ended up a loner when i Crave intimacy and envy others that can engage fully in life.Pristique is helping me-one week on it (its a new anti-dep.)

If your doc prescribed it, then he/she thinks it's appropriate for you.

Stimulant medications have the highest success rates with adhd.

In the doses you've doubtless been given it's unlikely they will cause any damage to your body, it's basically strong caffeine with less of a down after it wears off.

It's difficult to say which medication is best for adhd, different people respond better to different meds.
