Freaking out cuz I think I made a bad decision.

So I'm a female and I'm 50. I was diagnosed in my mid-thirties and I've been taking concerta ever since. I'm sure it's because of changes in hormones but concerta has stopped working.

I went to this 'ADHD specialist' who convinced me that adults should no longer be taking a stimulant medication. We should 'ALL' be taking a mood stabilizer (Wellbutrin) and a non-stimate ADHD med. I live in Canada and strattera is the only one available.

I went to my doctor. He agreed that it's a good thing to get off stimulants and today is going to be my first day without stimulants and taking these meds because my doctor will not allow me to mix the two while I switch.

Has anyone done the switch?
