Well said lymom3. So how did you deal with ADHD without Adderal?

You will know in a hurry if your dose is too high but when it's the right med and you are dosed right, it really can make a huge difference. I can actually start AND finish things; in a timely manner...all of that stuff. The bills get paid on time because they are not lost.
