Question:
My husband was just recently diagnosed w/ ADHD & put on Adderol...but the pills are making him very hyper..?
and shaky....I thought when someone was ADHD, the medicine was suppose to calm him down? Could he have been misdiagnosed???
Answers:
Adderol is basically a milder form of Speed, in that it can make the individual jittery and hyper. So why is it used for people with ADHD? Because it should be a "controlled" hyperness. People with ADHD have trouble concentrating, Adderol focuses their hyperness into a controlled form so that they can function in the everyday world.
Don't worry too much. If your husband was just diagnosed and has just started taking the pills, his body is acclimating itself to the pills and within a couple of weeks, the hyperness will calm itself down. However, if it continues, you should get the doctor to down the dosage. Adderol comes in many forms and you can get pills with different amounts of it in them. Good luck!
