Do stimulants and other ADD drugs work for almost everyone diagnosed with ADD? Or are there some people who do not respond?
Reason I ask: I have not responded to most stimulants or Strattera, and today a therapist (not a psychiatrist) told me that must mean that I do not have ADD. Seems like a little bit of twisted logic to me.
I know that I'm depressed but I have yet to respond to any so-called antidepressant, so I don't see how ADD would be different in terms of diagnosis. I'm not sure you can use a positive response or a negative response diagnostically. And, by the way, I have been diagnosed with ADD.
