> That's funny about the videos. A couple of weeks ago I printed off a list of books about ADD to take to the library and request that my branch library order them for me. One of the books on the list was checked out -- to ME! I had forgotten I had it in a stack of new books and it had fallen behind the bed! At least I had't READ it and then forgotten -- then I'd think it was early onset Alzheimers!
LOL! You just brought up a very interesting idea about checking out stuff at the library. The most overwhelming ADD experience must be going to a super-organized place like a library and trying to find ONE particular thing. I always HATED the library while I was in college. I liked putting together the fruits of the research in a paper, but just couldn't hack DOING the research at the library. I would waste endless hours trying to run down mag. articles, books, etc., and screw everything up. I dropped out of a research methods class (and had to change majors) because of this very problem. I am hoping to try to find a med that doesn't create excessive anxiety that will help with this. Thus far the only two that aren't AD's or pstims have been low-dose Neurontin and low-dose Trileptal. I want to try Straterra soon and see how that goes.
