SG2, your theory makes a lot of sense to me. I think ADD should probably be my primary dx. For years I used alcohol to tamp down the information overload -- I rarely got drunk, but could have a drink per hour and get a lot of creative work done. I didn't really carve alcohol, but I suppose I craved the peace it gave me. Then it stopped working and a couple of years ago I stopped drinking, which is when the anxiety / depression / ADD kicked in -- stuff I'd been keeping at arm's length with alcohol.
