You all are a source of comfort to me!!! LOL!! And just when I thought I was the only one who did run on stream of consciousness emails - emails - I do run on stream of consciousness legal briefs (but then they are not brief!) I am only missing the rear view mirror on my side of the car - you know the one - on the outside where everyone can see - and I have no idea who is left of me - I pray a lot!!
I am ADD also - 52 years old and just recently diagnosed - I am also trying to combat depression - I take dexedrine (not enough), wellbutrin (useless), cytomel (nothing works without it) estratest (estrogen with testosterone - I take the testosterone for cogitive function (?!?! yea right!!), and now since nothing works ont the depression, Celexa.
The ADD nightmare - Celexa makes me tired all the time- so tired I go into a coma if I put my head down for just a minute - so what next- I had tremendous word retrieval (word retrieval? what a euphemism - I lost my memory!) on Prozac at 40mgs. I think I am going to go off Wellbutrin - what is it doing for me - I cant tell but then I will find out when i go off
of it wont I - and the Celexa - anyone got any ideas. Under stress with not enough sleep my ADD is the pits - my boss just looks at me like I am a lost soul. Good thing he can take a joke!
More than anything I am tired of the fog in the brain. It wasnt always this way and I think it is the depression and not the ADD and I was wondering if any of you with the luck to have both of these problems, have any thoughts on this. Sometimes I even think the Dexedrine is making the ADD worse. In the absence of depression, Dexedrine is wonderful.
I just want the fog to lift.You all are a breath of fresh air - thank you - for your honesty, humor and candor. I am convinced it you dont have ADD, you dont understand. If you dont have it, you cant get the difference.
