All my life, I've had terrible grades in school, even in Kindgergarten. (!!!)

I just started some stimulent medication (adderall), and I've gone from a 1.8 GPA to a 4.0 GPA. School is so much better now. Is it typical for people to have
this kind of sucess with medication?

Congrats, ADDCadet01!!

Welcome to the ADD forums, btw!

I am on adderall and started it upon diagnosis in college (1999). My grades shot up very similar to yours.

I think it's pretty typical with a successful medication intervention.

Way to go! I didn't have a good experiance with Adderal, personally (I got overstimulated O_O) but right now I'm on Prozac, which is an anxiety medication. My grades aren't much better (my GPA is 2.8), but my homework is starting to get in faster and I can come up with better solutions.

Again, glad to hear the great news!
