> Where to start? Ritalin? 41 year old female mild/moderate ADD.
I'm a 39 year old female with same, plus depression. I'm currently on Adderall which is working well but not as well as I had wished. Also Buspar for low level depression and anxiety.
Ritalin goes up fast and crashes hard, for me. Too many ups and downs.
Check out the posts, on this board and the most recently archived, on Provigil (modafinil). They are testing it for use in ADD patients. Supposedly, it boosts energy, focus and motivation. Sounds great but we'll see. I'm going to try it very soon and will report back.
Best to you.
