I'm 55 and have been on stimulant medication at different points of my life. Starting from about 38-40 once a good Pyschiatrist took some time with me and took a good history. I did have the paradoxical reaction, and it did calm me down. I tried Adderall, Ritalin, and Dexederine. Never tried Concerta (both of my children have been diagnosed and my 16 year old son is still taking it, 21 year old daughter isn't) .
I am still quite impulsive, but not to the point of being diagnostical. I literally have to park my first two-three reactions to something to ensure I'm not overreacting.
Any body have any little methods/tricks that seems to keep their impulsivity in check ?
