Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have ADHD and I am currently on Vyvanse. I am a football player. I perform badly when I am under pressure. When I get a simple instruction, I feel like it as so tough. But, when I am practicing or alone, I can enjoy myself and play well. Even though I enjoy football and love the sport, I treat it as a job and not a game. I think the problem is because I stress myself out about learning stuff in as much detail. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You seem to get frustrated very easily. You are also unable to handle disappointments. Success and failure are two sides of the same coin. Take up a failure as a challenge and you will never get disappointed. Also, when you are impulsive your thinking is disorganized and will tend to commit mistakes more often. Be patient while handling tough situations. I advise you to take Tab Oxetol XR 150 mg (Oxcarbazepine) twice daily to control your impulsivity. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
