I met with my pdoc today to discuss my lack of attention. She asked a bunch of questions and determined that I have Adult ADD. Except now its just ADHD even if you don't have the hyperactivity which I don't. So we discussed the different meds for it and decided on Strattera. Are any of you on it and if so what side effects can I expect? She told me but I don't remember them. I swear I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached. When I was a teenager my mom took me to the doc to ask him about me having ADD and he told her because I was able to read this book I was reading I couldn't be ADD. In my opinon he thought my mom was nut case and didn't take her seriously. Looking back I see the symptoms all my life. When I was in early elementary school I was held back because I wasn't able to complete my work because I was always talking to my neighbor or getting up walking around seeing what everyone else was doing. I think growing up in the 70's in Nebraska it wasn't real well known or I would have been treated sooner.
