i take adderall xr, 20mg twice a day. i also take mood stabilizers for bipolar, and i just started luvox for ocd-type problems. i was diagnosed with adhd in first grade, but my parents disapproved of medications. as soon as i left for college, i started taking stimulants and was amazed at how much my scatteredness improved. but even though my concentration is much better, i have this horrible obsessiveness that really hinders my ability to get things done. back in college, zoloft really helped me be able to finish things and let them go so that, instead of being the last to turn in papers and exams, i was able to finish with plenty of time to spare and leave early. i want and need that ability again.
are you a student? i have the same thoughts about being able to manage inattention better in a job setting, but i think being in school makes ADD issues much more problematic.
