Yes, jealibeanz, I was diagnosed at an early age for adhd. And according to my family ,my neurologist/PP, and my personal wreckage, I've never grown out of it. I,ve tried stopping meds for months at a time & the results have been . . . . . . . expensive. . ,emotionally,spiritually,and seriously financially.(Sometimes legally for that matter). I would love to find a way to stay LEVEL but balance for me has never been habitual. It has always been a lesson in self-analysis and constant re-evaluation.I score very high on I.Q. tests,(which I've heard alot of adults w/ our condition do), always aced my classes(when I was there)
and can learn to do anything . but when it comes to impulses,decisions,forethought,etc. etc. I've driven myself ,wife, parents,children, & friends to DISTRACTION. yeah,i know ha,ha. I really think this Adderall may help.....the Wellbutrin leaves alot to be desired, focuswise, and longevity of the effects.
