I am 24 year male, I am been diagnosed with adhd and been taking inspiral 20 sr, from past 1 year, however last month I noticed the effect has completely reduced, I increased the dosage to 40 & 60, still it was ineffective to me, I though I got tolerant to medication, so I took a tolerance break of a month, and started taking from yesterday, however my tolerance is not gone, all I feel now is calmness, earlier I used to feel motivation, and a strong focus, but not I feel nothing, my adhd is getting worse, what can be done now, since in india there is no other adhd medication available, other than inspiral, please help.

Dear Lybrate user we would recommend you discuss the same with the psychiatrist. Psychiatrists can help in identifying whether to increase the dose or decrease it. Along with it, you have to make some lifestyle changes as well like adopting a physical exercise routine - gyming, yoga, cycling, etc. Consult a dietician for a healthy diet routine like avoiding too much sugar and carbs. Additionally to all these, you may try analyzing how this condition is affecting your life - relationship, work, and daily life. For this, you may need the help of a counseling psychologist. They will help you for example - improve problem-solving skills & organization skills or help in increasing your motivation level, etc. Try these and share with us the improvements/challenges. All the best.
