Methylphenidate - should I stick with it?

Hi everyone,

This is my first time on medication after I found therapies etc just haven’t helped. I’ve been diagnosed with combined adhd and I’ve been taking slow release 18mg for the last few days (soon will be upped to 27mg and then maybe 36mg depending how it goes).

I’ve found that my brain feels like it’s got tape over its mouth, like, it’s trying to say 1000000 things like it usually does, but it isn’t! This has been the best part of it, so much quieter.

However I’m still very scatterbrainy, forgetful, on edge, can’t keep still at all, and my mood swings are still making a little appearance. I just wondered, for those on this type medication, does it get better eventually? Should I stick it out? :)
