I actually did see the pdoc the other day, but I didn't bring up the ADD thing because I want to get my anxiety meds straightened out first, and I was afraid that if I brought it up now, the doc would say it is just a problem with my med (even though it has been a lifelong problem that I never thought was a big deal until now). So, when I get up the nerve to bring it up, I will definitely put a post on the board. And hey, thanks for letting me know that someone else feels this way. - Bonnie
