No no..please don't be sorry..you where trying to help.:-) I just had a bad experience with it...and it's just not the drug for me. I do know it works great for others, though.
I am not quite sure a pstim to test for ADD would be good for me either, simply because I feel absolutely horrible on any stimulant. Caffiene drives me nuts, and once I even tried a bit of ephedrine that was in a cold medicine, and I almost turned completely mad. I get very, very irritable on them. Maybe the pstims might be better, though, so who knows. The only problem is I turn into a blathering anxious mess and freak out even if I drop a coin in public. My nerves feel as if they are super-charged with anxiety.
But, we will see. At the very least with the benzos, I can actually get up out of bed.
Thanks very much for your kind support..
Jay
