Complete non-response to stimulant options?
I'm dual diagnosed autistic and ADHD, and about to take my first dose of Strattera. I've previously gone through a full titration of methylphenidate, and elvanse + boosters, with literally zero effects. Like, not even negative side effects. Nothing. I know I'm not a stimulant non-responder as I've taken various non-prescribed/recreational stimulants in the past and definitely experienced some effects (I actually took cocaine in my early 20s to improve my social anxiety because it allowed me to chat and engage better!).
So wth? How does someone take 80mg of amphetamine with no effect? I ask every doctor I see and they kind of just shrug.
Crossing my fingers the non-stimulant route works for me as my ADHD brain is 100% more "disabling" to me than my autism brain day-to-day.
Anyone ever experienced similar??
