> Just my 2 cents worth. I think everything Sue G. describes falls within the ADD experience, as well as depression. I think its worth pursuing. I think it was a great relief to me to find out about my own ADD, although my pdoc has said he thought it was mild and intertwined with depression and anxiety, but all that's commonly comorbid with ADD.
> But no matter what you want to call it, augmentation to treat all of the symptoms can be a good thing. Its worked for me. I now take Zoloft and Metadate (extended release of ritalin).
> The two books DRIVEN TO DISTRACTION, authors Hallowell and Ratey, WOMEN AND ADD, by Sari Solden are great books. Also, YOU MEAN I'M NOT CRAZY, LAZY, OR STUPID, by Kate Kelly and Peggy Ramundo is an excellent source book. There's tons of info on the web too.
Dear Sarah,Is ADD in women generally different than it is in men?
Is ADD responsive to Prozac or Zoloft monotherapy?
How did you respond to Zoloft alone, and what symptoms not improved by Zoloft were improved by Metadate?
Thanks.
