i know all too well how diffucult that was for you to get on dean's list and become vice pres. i just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS!!! i, too, went from being a flunkee in college (having gotten c's and d's my first semester and then dropping out) to actually being on dean's list. it is thrilling to know that it is possible for those of us who always thought of ourselves as "stupid" to actually be intelligent! my only problem was that ritalin stopped working after the first 6-8 months. i experimented with different dosages and then was put on imipramine. that made me severely depressed, so i went back to ritalin thinking there was no other alternative. after 2 years of almost lost hope, i went to another doctor after doing some research on the internet and was put on adderall. it, so far, is just what i needed to keep myself on task. anyway, enough about me...congratulations! i am truley glad to hear that you have done so well and glad to hear your response on adderall. e-mail me with more info if you would like to swap stories. also, can you tell me how old you are? i am 22 - and i believe that i will be one of the few people of the statistics that will have adhd for the rest of my life. another thing, are you male or female? i know that add/adhd is diagnosed much more in males than females. keep in touch!
