I knew our paths would cross on this post also! I was diagnosed ADD (not "H") way back before it was popular for adults to be so. (When I was forty, and I am now fifty nine.) Ritalin worked worked absolute wonders, but I tended to up the dose and my husband refused to have me on any drug with a potential for abuse so we switched to Wellbutrin SR. Within a week or two I became psychotic! As a result I now "manage" my ADD with lists and brightly colored postit notes. Please don't hit on my husband -- we have had 35 wonderful years. It's just that he just refuses to understand a few things, and this is a compromise. I have such fond memories of those days on Ritalin when life was like a jigsaw puzzle that fit!! Maria
