Hi, Carol Ann, Yes, I was very relieved when I could finally put a definite name on my problem. I was diagnosed at 29. I'm now 31. I have been on 10mgs once in the morning for 2 months now. I'm starting to think that maybe I shoud have that dose upped by the doc the next time I see him.(by 5mgs) I couldn't imagine 30mgs a day!! I would be through the roof!! I have always known I was different, but it never really bothered me that much. Most of my friends were always different, so it was no big deal to me... (buncha band nerds! :-)) It was a very dramatic difference when I was put on the Adderall, it has made such a difference in my life. It took away alot of my axiety and depression. No, I don't really "slump" in the evening or get depressed. I am just now getting used to taking it and finally am getting a good amout of sleep again. I have read your past posts and if I remember correctly, you are also on a few other meds. That could be some of the "slump" problem. I noticed when I took the Remeron for sleep, I was pretty tired and a bit depressed the next day. It was waaayy too strong for me. One of the other posts in this thread include a good book on adult ADD, "Driven to Distraction". I highly recomend a good sit down with that book. Very informational, it was my life story... It was written before Adderall, though. Well, I hope I have helped... Oh, a good ADD/ADHD group... CHADD they have a web site... www.chadd.com (or .org?)
