Yeah no problem. It took me a long time, working with my Doctor, to get medication right. I have a slow transit, basically the time it takes for items to digest and turn into #2. Sorry TMI, I know. Anyway, those of us with slow transit times see the amps build up in our system over time and actually causes the opposite effect of what they are supposed to do. For those of us with slow transit, less is more.
I highly reccomend this book: http://www.amazon.com/books/dp/1938467221
It goes into all of this type of stuff and gives you a good starting point to discuss issues with your doctor. It really helped me figure out my medications. My old doctor kept prescribing a higher dosage, because it wasn't working, but the reality was that it was just building up in my system to the point where it caused a lot of side effects. I read through this book, after getting completely frustrated with the lack of efficacy, then tested my transit time. Once I determined that I had slow transit, I cut my dosage down to a quarter of what I was taking. And voila, meds started working how they were supposed to without the side effects.
Good luck to you! Once you figure out the meds your ADHD life will improve dramatically. Mine sure did.
