my name is tyler, and i have ADD/ADHD and i just got diagnosed about a month ago. after watching these commercials on tv for some drug, i think it was paxil or something when they talk about someone changing the tv channels in your brain all the time and you cant stop it, and after some issues in my life, i decided to go to a psychologist and get the story straight. the tv commercials fit me to a T and after talking with my DR for sometime he figured it out. I took some tests for him, and he even had my wife take them not knowing my answers. I was furtunate enough to have a mom and dad who kept all my report cards from when i was a kid and i took those to the DR as well. well the mold it seems was made from me, but i bet we all think that. makes me so damn mad that it took me this long to figure it out. but i have it figured out now i guess and im still pretty young, 26, so it is all good i guess.
i have been taking strattera for a little under a month now and it seems to be working good.
well im here now. and hi everyone. i hate talking about myself.
Tyler from Wichita, KS

whoops, here is a picture of me.

Heya Tyler, welcome to the bunch, this is a place where you will fit in and be accepted. :cool:

Welcome Tyler ! Good pic.

Hey, Tyler, welcome, the medication you are reffering to is Strattera. I just started it 2 weeks ago. Had a lot of side effects, but most are subsiding, and I am deffinately better able to concentrate. If you have any questions feel free to direct them to me, or any one else on the strattera boards would probably help you out. :)

Oh, wait, you're already on it. I need more sleep.

Welcome to the ADD Forums, Tyler. :)

Hi and welcome - you're very lucky to have such a supporting spouse and parents! My parents refuse to show me my report cards and say they won't allow me to look at them and take them with me for another 5 years "until I am settled in the UK and sure that I really want to stay" (I've been living here for 4 years now) *shrug*

Im 46 and was diagnosed oficially in the last 1 years. self diagnosed in my arly 20's.

Honestly, life is life.

Make what you can of it at each point.

I dunno for sure, Sc@tterBr@in, but around here you would have a lot of legal recourses in a situation like this... up to and including taking your parents to court (they would lose). Who the hell are they to deny you this information?

But a method of bypassing them might be to simply contact all your old schools and boards of education. There have GOT to be copies of them all archived somewhere, and if your parents don't even know you are searching for them, how can they prevent you from getting them?

Welcome, welcome, welcome, dude! You're among fam and friends here! :D
