{{{{{Bama}}}}}}} I know exactly how you feel. I am so frustrated with my ADD right now I could pull my head off and use it as a bowling ball. It seems like I forget things immediately after hearing them or reading them. I'm making an *** out of myself in social situations and at work by constantly making mistakes and doing things twice because I forgot I did it the first time. I have the attention span of a gnat and I feel like it's a major chore to remember to take my meds. Today was the first day since I got dx'd over a year ago that I remembered to take both doses... So I am with you. I don't really know why your pdoc won't switch your med for you. Maybe you can get a 2nd opinion? As you may know, some docs get more of a kickback from prescribing certain meds, which sucks for obvious reasons. If this was happening to me, I would make sure and certain that my med was not helping me and then I would urge my doc to prescribe something else. If he didn't, then I would tell him (at a face to face appointment) that I am going off the one that's not working, and see what he says. If he still won't write a new script, then I would find a new doc. Something seems wrong there... I don't know, maybe some of you long time med takers have some other advice, but I know my body and I know when something isn't working. And I also know that my pdoc listens to me and lets me help make the decisions about which drugs I want to try, when to up the dose, when to try something different. I know it's frustrating. I am so sorry you're struggling, Bama. I wish you well and I hope you swat the annoying mosquito that is ADD...

Love,
Kelly
