dear mitch,
thanks again. you seem knowledgeable, so i'm going to tell you a bit more about myself...i think i'm the *opposite* of ADHD...i become so completely absorbed in what i'm doing, that i forget anything else exists. i speak and move relatively slowly, i get so drawn into things that i notice very little else. drinking and drugs do help me focus even better, but i've absolutely no patience for things i don't like (anything technical or mathematic).
i wonder if i'm just having a self-disipline problem...an inherent hedonist? i've no idea. for some background, my slew of diagnoses (in order from past to present) are depression, social phobia, generalized anxiety, dysthymia, severe depression, borderline personality disorder, bipolar II, histronic. quite a mix, huh?
but i don't think i'm ADHD. maybe just depresst, drunk, dramatizing....
thanks for the neurontin suggestion--will bring that up to my pdoc. hair loss on depakote frightens me.
thanks again,
sar
