A member asked:
What does it say about my brain if the highest doses of multiple stimulant medications dont help my adhd whatsoever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It says that you probably don't have ADHD. The key with treatment for ADHD is that the stimulant medication acts in a paradoxical (opposite) fashion- it calms you down. In persons who do not have ADHD, the medication will only stimulate, not calm. Talk to your prescriber about an alternative diagnosis.
