The Best Medicine for ADHD Predominantly Inattentive

[tessmesser1]

There is very sure research that ADHD is carried into adulthood by over 50% of people diagnosed as children. I have heard that the issue in the U.K. Has more to do with physicians not wanting to prescribe stimulants to adults who may abuse them. Getting treated with a non stimulant is worth a try.

Unfortunately I can't even get an adult diagnosis in the UK, despite having all the symptoms of innatentive and something of a leaning towards combined type (oppositional behaviour, impulsiveness etc), not to mention having all of these symptoms since childhood. The psychologist at the NHS basically flat out said "we don't diagnose ADHD in adults" and basically said it doesn't occur in people over 16..

Many doctors do not want to prescribe stimulants because they are a controlled substance and it it more work for them and their office to prescribe these. Prescriptions must be written monthyl, there is concern about patients selling medication on the streets, there is concern that tone of their patients may abuse, misuses or have a bad reaction to the amphetamine. This is not a defense of your MD, just explaining. The best thing would be to find a different doctor.

The Adele Diamond PDF that speaks about lower dosages of stimulants for ADHD Inattentive is in a link labeled "Research on ADHD Inattentive" in the left hand column of the Primarily Inattentive ADD webpage.

Thanks for your comment. The most comprehensive documentation on this topic is by Adele Diamond, PhD. I have emailed you the PDF and I will post it on my webpage.

Here you say that there is RESEARCH to support a very low dose of stimulants as beneficial to the ADD-PI patient, and specifically you suggest a 2.5 mg start dose of Adderall.

I would like to try this, but I need the STUD(IES) that you are referring to in order to persuade a prescription from my psychiatrist, who firmly believes that MORE is better.

I have searched your website as well and cannot find such a paper.

Thank you in advance for providing it here.
