Hey Barbara--Fellow Rambler!!I think my entire life has been run on stream of conscuiousness!!! Depression goes with the ADD --and anxiety and panic--it was one big jumble for me--and I can't figure which causes which or if we just have to accept we are totally nuts and get on with life (which I think we do..sounds like you are atty) and yes, no one understands ADD if they don't have it....some of friends/family think I use as an excuse for my disorganization, etc.--even those that put up with me in college and grad school(Heck, even I thought ADD diagnoses were stupid ...at least until I got mine)
I am better depresssion -wise since they figured out I had ADD--and since I left my last job! But I am totally wired right now--and it's late.
Drug wars--are you working on it? Maybe a different cocktail (or maybe just a martini....)I take adderal--I understand it's a bit more even than the dexadrine alone. Never did ritalin. No, the adderal ain't perfect--in fact, at this moment, judging from the way I am writng, I'd say it's useless, but I just think I need to get myself back on track--it does work for me, but i still need to work at it too. I hate the eating side--I only eat carbs and chocolate, and I know my resistance is down. Also, I sit up till 4 am...I seem to ignore every signal that it's bedtime. Again, I think I just need to push myself a bit to get on a schedule...oh, how do we add-ers even manage to hold jobs?
Never tried the stuff you are on (no estrogen need yet...that will be next!..except I take wellbruitrin--think it works for me. Testosterone for the cognative stuff???? new one on me..maybe that will help my memory and difficulty with words?(does that mean men are more...oh, never mind.)
Enuf....and I've deleted 3/4 of this! I swear I am going to hit send and and log off. now now...i can do it...night
