Medication enquiry

[Nemesis2k7]

Hey all, first time poster here. been diagnosed as a child, witb ADHD, and updated diagnosis 2 months ago of adult adhd. i have been put on medication. Namely dexamphetamine sulfate. i have been told to take 3x5mg tablets in morning, and afternoon. i found this medication effective, for around 6 weeks. now i feel it is doing nothing. i asked my phyciatrist about the dose, and body weight, as i am 95kg. he said doseage has to do with body weight / height, and said i am on a low dose. does anyone here have experience with dex, and it losing effectiveness quickly? i can no longer talk with him about medication adjustments, as he has retired.

Did you get a different generic?

yes i did

Generics are not made the same. It sounds like the last generic you got was less effective. Unfortunately, a lot of people are experiencing the same problems with some generic Adderall as you are
