Answers:
It will take some time for the medication to reach theraputic levels in your bloodstream!. ADD is a complex disease, and there will be some individual differences between every patient!. The medication has a track record of helping a high percentage of patients!. Most patients report that while taking the medication they will have good days, and more good days than ever before!. But do not expect perfection in all things!. You may have some days where you think that the medication is not doing anything!. You might try journaling each day to record how well you think that you did and how well the medication did!. Overall you will see a trend with a marked improvement!.
Since you are ADD I understand that patience may not be a strong point for you, but do try to relax and not slip into obbsessive/compulsive worry!.
That good first day might actually be a placebo effect, and not due to the medication at all!. You are taking action!. You are doing something to address the problems/issues!. Your mind may have kicked into overdrive and focused simply as a reward for taking positive steps!. The medication will kick in later!.
Continue to take the medication, and, as always, consult with your doctor on a regular basis!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
