Hello

I'm 31 and was diagnosed with ADD when I was a kid and didn't grow out of it. I also have depression. These 2 do not mingle well at all and I feel sometimes it gets worse. I take antidepressants but nothing for ADD because it is too expensive. I used to take Strattera, and I think it worked, but it costs 100 bucks a bottle. Where do I go on this forum to get help and possibly some "home remedies" or free advice?
Thanks

Re: Hello

Under the medications section, under Straterra is some kind of application thread if you can't afford meds. I didn't read it, don't know what exactly it contains but you might want to check it out.

Re: Hello

Also, if you can take stimulants, I'm pretty sure generic Methylphenidate (Ritalin) and Dexamphetamine (Dexedrine) are about as cheap as most pharmaceuticals get. Definitely talk to a doc & pharmacist about options re med costs if you can swing it.

Good luck & welcome!
