So I went to see my pdoc today... I explained to her in extreme detail how I know I have ADD. Starting from back when I was in emementry school all the way up until I finished school... How when I was given a test to see which grade level I was at, I was in the 8th grade and scored a 5th grade level in everything but English, which I had a 10th grade level in. I continued to explain things to her from on up into my life now and how it's very difficult for me to study for my GED and go get it when I can't even concentrate long enough to read even half a book without having to start over because I've forgotten what was said in the beginning of the book.

She said it does seem as though I had ADD and for me to call the hospital early next week and she will call in my perscription... I can't, for the life of me, remember what the name of the medication is... It starts with an F and once you take it, it takes close to an hour to kick in and only last for 4 hours, then it wears off for the day. Can anyone help me out here? What's it called?

Anyway, I'm excited. I'll finally be able to finish things I start because my concentration will be where it needs to be. The only thing I don't like is it only lasts 4 hours, so I'll have to rush to get things done. *shrugs* She said she's only going to keep me on it temporarily and if it works, she's going to put me on Stratera.
