Not sure if I am in the right place or not, it seems like I have add but starting to wonder. Anyway a little history; I suffered from Cerebral Hypoxia at child birth. I am in my mid thirties & have had a "normal" life except for issues related to my traumatic birth. I have always done poorly in school(some C's a lot of D's and some F's) & was diagnosed early with Dyslexia & a learning disability. I have a GED as well as a BA, so I guess I'm considered high functioning? My biggest problems have always been math and science, my problems are with comprehension primarily. My memory has always been pretty bad too, I have other issues including social problems.

I have never felt very smart & my current job is pushing me to the limits(outside sales). I felt that if I didn't address my short comings I would loose my job sooner rather than later. For whatever reason I decided that seeing somebody that specialized in ADD would be a good start. I have now been on multiple drugs for about 6 months & have had no improvement at all with any of my problems.

I keep just going along with my current doc (very well respected, nationally known add specialist) and his different medications. Guess you can say I'm kinda timid, since I have never asked this doc about who else I can see . Anyway, I am having a lot of problems deciphering what my next step should be because I feel like I have symptoms of so many different conditions. Maybe there isn't anything that can be done, I just don't know. Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Go have a chat with a psychiatrist.

I get where you are coming from. My only suggestion is that you make an effort to communicate effectively with your doc. Personaly i find this hard, there's something about thier offices that makes me feel extremely intimidated. But they can't get a clear picture unless you tell them exactly how you feel, and if you don't think you are being treated effectively as a whole you should defintely say so. This is your life. Can i ask why you are on 'multiple' drugs?
I hope you find some answers soon.

I'm assuming that you did not get enough oxegen when you wre born. You probably have some brain damage if this is the case.

Try writing down what you want to communicate to your pdoc and reading it to him at your next appointment. Let him know that you are using this tool so that you can recall everything and your issues are clearly stated. If you can, group your issues as like things and present them as a group. Ask for specific answers and write them down.

You are the only person who really knows if the meds are working for you. If you don't see a difference, you need to communicate that clearly to the doc. It can take a lot of trial and error before the right med or combination of meds is found.
