<p>r33breora - First off, I am very sorry for what you and your daughter are going through. You (and she) should know that you are not alone: many college students struggle, especially those with ADHD.</p>
<p>At this point I have only read your initial post, but I wanted to share something with you right away. My son shares some characteristics with your daughter. He has ADHD-PI and some learning disabilities. He also must take his ADHD meds to have any chance of success. During his freshman year he rarely took his meds, and he struggled academically. He is currently on medical leave (after completing freshman year), while we take some time to tackle his ADHD/Exectutive function issues.</p>
<p>How do you remember to take a pill that will help you remember?</p>
<p>My son was taking a stimulant medication (when he remembered!), but we have recently changed his medication. He is now taking Strattera (a non-stimulant). It builds up in your system over time, and is effective 24/7. It is always there, so you don’t have the conundrum of remembering to remember. As it happens, he also takes a small stimulant “booster”, but Strattera improves his baseline executive function so that he can remember each morning to take his meds. You might want to look into this…</p>
