I am a longtime lurker and could not resist responding. Sounds like what I've been thru as well. I compensated fine (for the ADD) a very long time, altho' I believe it was draining and anxiety provoking now that I look back.
I too was treated initially for depression, but soon suspected there was something else goin' on. I am now on both AD's and stimulants and doing much much better..
