Hi Angel,
I was diagnosed last year with Adult ADD. Contrary to popular belief, you can get diagnosed with Adult ADD even if you were not diagnosed as a child. I am 39 and last year I went to one doc who refused to diagnose me but the 2nd one did and prescribed Ritalin, which I can't remember to take (I wish I could laugh at the irony of that... but it makes me mad at my brain that I can't seem to remember to take it, even as I'm sitting at my job thinking, "Geez I wish my organizational skills were better and man, my memory sucks...") Anyway, the way I got diagnosed was fairly painless. I did a little research online and found a list of classic symptoms of Adult A.D.D. I had 16 of them and took the list to the doctor. Like I said, the first one wouldn't budge and said stress can make you forgetful, etc. but the 2nd one said, "There's no doubt in my mind that you have Adult A.D.D." But unfortunately, I'm not getting the support I need from friends and loved ones. They all dismiss it and say, "yeah, but everyone has a little of that." That makes me feel invalidated and embarrassed for bringing it up... anyway, every night I say, "tomorrow I will remember to take my Ritalin" and every tomorrow comes and I forget. Hey, if any of you long timers have any tips for remembering to take Ritalin (the kind that needs to be taken every 4 hours) please let me know. I remember to take my Lexapro because I take it before bed and I keep it on my nightstand.
Well, good luck Angel. Hope this is of some help to you. I'm going to try the Glutamag. Sorry I forgot to check and see who suggested it, but thanks. I hope it turns me into a normal little boy too. (hee hee just kidding!)
