I hope what I write will not scare you away from trying these, I just want to add to make sure to know about all potential side effects. My daughter tried Atomoxetine and reacted very badly to it. I recognized it as a potential side effect from the documentation that came with the meds. The doctors did not even know it could happen. Everyone is different though! She uses Elvanse now (I don’t know how that’s called outside Europe) and it works for her.

Again, chances are it will work for you without side effects so work with your doctor. Just be well informed.

Elvanse, which is lisdexamphetamine, is sold under the Vyvanse brand in the US. It is a prodrug for one of the isomers found in adderall. This just means that you take elvanse, which is initially sort of ‘inactive’ and your body eventually converts it into what can essentially be thought of as adderall, or more accurately, d-amphetamine. Adderall specifically also contains l-amphetamine which is absent from this drug, the l-amphetamine isomer is responsible for more of the unwanted nervous system / cardiac effects.
