Hi,Thanks for your input. So you had heard of amantadine being used for ADD... Had you read the book I mentioned or did you hear of it elsewhere?
I had been mildly interested in it for depression but now I'm very interested in trying it for ADD as well as depression. I just started a new job so I won't be trying any medications for a few months but after that I'll see if either of my last two pdocs will go for it. I'll post the results if I get to trial it.
