irritable, impatient and restless when meds wear off Posted: 01-28-08 16:18pm
It's been like this with ALL ADD meds I've
taken. Riddlin, Concerta, etc. After
classes and I finish with my homework or
whatever, I get really antsy, can't
concentrate on anything, I jump from one
thing to another, I feel irritable,
impatient, restless and I shake and blink
a lot and I can't relax.
Those pills messed me up so bad that now I
take a children's medication, which is
Daytrana. It released medication through
your skin by the way of a patch. It's the
only ADD medication that the symptoms
haven't been REALLY bad on but it all
still makes me all weird and takes a long
time to wear off. I'm not even on a high
dosage.
Does any one have any idea on how to just
relax and not have these symptoms?

Your symptoms are present because of two
reason one your diet and your two your
social life. The main reason is your diet
if you fix that most, maybe even all of
your present problem will go away. You see
when you eat food that have been stress
you are applying the stress to your self.
Let me explain what I mean by stress if I
take a plant and tie it down I’m apply
stress to it because it now state is to go
up. When applying heat, microwave, x-ray
(which a lot of food companies are doing
to their foods now) and chemicals to food
these are other methods of stressing food.
For the main reason it’s altering it
state of being. Foods that are in their
natural form have not been stress or have
little stress done to them. You have to
change your diet if you want to take back
control of your body. Your lack in ability
to control your body is the respond of the
stressed foods you are giving to your
self. Stress put you in a state were you
are in defense mode so obviously your body
is going to want to move it self around
because it’s getting ready to defend it
self. The bottom line is you have to start
eating foods that have not been stress and
that are highly energetic. I know it hard
to change something your already accustom
to do, that was my biggest problem when I
decided to change my diet and keep it but
if you want help on a shorter quicker way
of recovering your health back to balance
I would be glad to assist you with any
question you have. I can show you natural
ways of alleviating your symptoms fast and
painless.

I can completely relate. I was dx in
graduate school although everyone
suspected something was amiss during
elementary. I am 33 years old and ADHD
wasn't really know as much during that
time.
The ADHD meds do the same for me. They do
help but also cause the same side effects
when they are wearing off. Perhaps an
antidepressant or mood stabilizer in
addition to the meds would help. The mood
stabilizer helped me and I heard some
antidepressants helping other people. I
was (currently Bfing) on the lowest dose
as well.
I was miserable during school because I
wasn't on anything else but the Ritalin or
Adderal. I would definitely look into
getting on something in addition to your
medication to ease those symptoms. At
least it's worth a try. It did help me
considerably.
Good luck. I know how frustrating it can
be. Do you notice that sometimes it helps
more than other times? Are you always
irritable or is it occasionally??
Just curious.

I have a tendency to feel that way too. I
take Adderall, and depending on my day, I
will have the same symptoms. They are
worse if I didnt sleep well the night
before. But I can drink a glass of wine in
the afternoon, and it makes me calm down.
Hope this helps a little...

Look at my posting... It may give you some
insight as to why you were reacting this
way to your meds... or NOT having the
meds...
