This is an unfortunate truth. The physiology of how methylphenidate and dextroamphetamine work in the mid brain allows the brain to "correct" for the solution, sadly. You will need to work with experts to properly manage your medicines. I have used ritalin/Concerta and tried Strattera, catapres, SSRIs, etc. Only stimulants worked. The hardest part is that the government forces you to not use drug holidays--Yay government....so helpful.
