3 | add | anxiety, sleeplessness | Worked well initially although sometimes seemed unable to focus. Worked better than Concerta which was tried initially-maxed out at 76 mg. Eventually though the Metadate did not seem to control symptoms as spaciness and sleepiness returned even though was on 60 mg. Tried Adderall for a week and was very moody and anxious. Switched to Strattera now and am very, very tired. Taking it at bedtime. So far Metadate the best at least initially. | F | 13 | 6 days | 8/7/2004 |
