A member asked:
Has anyone had any patients with good experiences using stimulants for adhd-pi and sct? what meds did they use? i also experience the fatigue.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stimulants dont help: Adhd-pi , or predominantly inattentive adhd generally doesnt respond well to stimulant medication. Honestly many experts think that innattentive adhd may be a different disorder than pure adhd. Sometimes the innatentive adhd may responds to antidepressants and sometimes there is not a medication that help much and therapy and lifestyle modification are the most helpful. Hope this helps.Good luck.
