Linda540,
Yes, meds such as this one have helped millions to work with their ADD. Meds for chemical imbalances are what eye-glasses can be to someone with poor vision. You can't just get up one morning and say " I will make myself see clearly without my glasses today." Meds like strattera are one tool to live your ADD. I have found books on the subject very helpful. Awarness of
tendancies and behaviors will help you to identify your symtoms and develop habits or methods to counter these behaviors. So yes, the meds do work, and there are non-med things that can help you too. I did not realize I had ADD until I was 29yrs old and upon studying about it recognized that I have had it all my life.
There are days I still wish the "mother-ship" would pick me up and I would say " nowwww this makes sense" but seriously your not alone and good luck, if stattera is not right for you, there are several other meds that may work for you. Everyone responds differently to meds.Kemet
