> Hi Sarah, I have ADD too, just recently been diagnosed. I was the typical, daydreaming, underachieving, child. Could I ask you some questions?
> When were you diagnosed? Did you feel relieved that there was an explanation for the way you are? I was *very* relieved to find that my probblem was a "brain glitch" rather then some weird personality defect. I always knew that I was different, and I thought it was my fault. I kept thinking that whatever it was, I *should* be able to fix it, or stop doing it, or something. What a release to find out that none of my odd little "differences" are my fault, that they can be controlled with medication.
> I'm on 10mgs Adderall three times per day. Do you mind telling me how much you are on? And, how long your doses last? Also, what kind of effect do you get? Is it a dramatic improvement? Do you slump(or get depressed) in the evening after your last dose wears off? I hope you don't mind all the questions. It's just, your case seems similar to mine and I don't have anyone to talk to about this. Thank you. CarolAnn>That was me and still is me, the daydreamy girl. In school it was like the Charlie Brown cartoon when the teacher talks and all you hear is Blah,Blah,Blah because I would be spaced off somewhere. That is why I wonder if I have ADD with anxiety. Although the anxiety did not start until 2 yrs ago. Guess maybe I will hopefully find out next week at Pdoc. Gloria
