Hi Zeke. First, the phrase "atypical ADD" is just my description of the form I think I have. I have never been hyper-active, quite the opposite. I don't remember a time in my life when I was not tired. But, on reflecting back to school days, I can remember the teachers having to almost yell in order to jar me from daydreaming. I have always been very imaginative and able to use my daydreams to escape any circumstances I did not want to be in(ie: school ,dentist appts, ect.). Anyway, I always thought that ADD meant being too hyper-active to pay attention. That's why I started the "atypical" ADD thread, in hopes of finding out if this might be part of my depression problem.
Actually when I asked, how long I should give it? I misspoke. I was talking about the Adderall, I want to know if the effects are just dose by dose, or if there is a cumulative effect or both. For example, if I forget to take them a few days, will I just notice a difference on those days or will there be a negative effect on my longterm treatment? Sorry this reply is so long, I'm not very articulate.Thanx for all the helpful info!CarolAnn
