Just thought I'd drop in and introduce myself since I've posted a little around here.
I've been diagnosed with ADD for almost three heavenly years. After so long of feeling bad about myself and thinking I was a flake... there was a name for the problems and help for them as well. Two of my three children also are ADD. My daughter, age 12, for five years and son, age 10, for four years. It was my sons doctor, who during the evaluation visited with me quite a bit, pointed out that I had " the worst case of adult ADD" he'd every seen... **laughs** It took me a year to gather the courage to seek an evaluation and diagnosis... but sooooooo very glad that I did. Life has been so much better.
I'm currently taking Rit. 20mg 4x day... works very well for me.
My daughter is on Concerta 36mg day and
we are starting my son on Strattera beginning on Saturday..with three days of both the Rit. and the Strattera before dropping the Rit.
Hmmm... well, that's our life story...
