BJ, that's what I hope will happen with me, being put on the right stim along with possibly an AD or not.
Can I ask what your symptoms were before you took Ritalin? I feel like I have ADD but it has taken a second seat to depression but it may be the cause of my depression since I've changed jobs often due to boredom or irritating events or people.
I also have trouble reading and completing tasks in a reasonable period of time.
I just wanted to compare my symptoms with yours for similarities.
Thanks for your post, it made me realize I could have been misdiagnosed all these years and depression is a factor but it may have it's roots in ADD symptoms and lack of self esteem due to me comparing myself to others who are successful.
