> Interesting how Dr. Amen mentioned diet and how too much carbs can exacerbate some symptoms. It was soooo true in my case. And it was always worse after lunch. Hard to going in hte morning and extremely lethargic after lunch from about 12:30 pm - around 3-4 pm.
It's the same for me. But I'm not avoinding carbs, for me it's quite difficult since I live in Italy and, you know, pasta and pizza is not just a cultural sthereotype ;-)
Amen insists a lot on the diet, I don't know how much his wievs are shared though.I want to add there was an ADHD fellow on this board who's doing great on pemoline now. I had good results with a tryciclic (Anafranil) that has both NE and SE reuptake properties. Every ADHD is different and my suggestions are to find a psychiatrist that knows how to treat this disturb ... psychostimulants are not necessarily the only key to your peace of mind.
