> Thanks for empathy and suggestion. I did appreciate both. So, what are you currently on ?

I have stopped taking my medication and instead have started on diet, exercise, and nutrional supplements. I realize now that my ADD symptoms (which were really of adult onset... that should have raised an alarm bell) most likely stem from adrenal exhaustion and excess serotonin caused by stress and "Syndrome X"/"Metabolic Syndrome".

I would advise you to carefully consider what the nature of your problems really are rather than hopping around from drug to drug in the hopes of finding something that works. This isn't psychological navel gazing but a rational consideration of your behavioral, dietary, and health history. In my case, I think I was finally able to draw all the clues together, but only after experiencing improvement in a serendipidous manner!

Have you checked out Dr. Amen's site?
