Thanks D/R - except I'm going to have to read that 10 times to know what you just said. lol
Something I read about ADD last night (that I could easily understand lol) really interested me so I have to write it.
The difference between ADD and ADHD. Actually, I've never read anything about different neurotransmitter effects from meds between ADD or ADHD symptoms, but I'm guessing that might be relevant. Both my son and I are ADDers. When I was reading about ADD/ADHD symptoms, I noticed all the symptoms I did not have, mostly the "H" in ADHD, my son had. WHile we had some overlapping symptoms, this is why in all these years I would never have thought I had ADD even though my son was diagnosed years ago. My son is right handed and I'm left handed. When I read the lists of symptoms, it was apparent that my son and I combined are the entire spectrum of the ADD/ADHD disorder.
