Hi Katekite- ADD is what they finally diagnosed you with? (I have talked with you before-this is so new and different a diagnosis) What are you taking for the ADD??
Hildi> thanks. The klonopin was originally for anxiety. But it turned out that was a misdiagnosis as what I actually have is more a 'mental restlessness and overwhelmed behind feeling' of ADD... which disappears on ADD meds. Since starting ADD meds I have found I do experience anxiety occasionally but not to the point of needing medication for it or it interupting sleep -- just finally know what anxiety is versus what I always thought was anxiety.
