I have ADD, no hyperactivity. I was first diagnosed as an adult. I think the hyperactivity symptoms often go away as the person ages and not everyone even has them when a child. I've also heard that more males than females tend to have the hyperactivity symptoms as children. You are not alone!

For my ADD, I take Wellbutrin and Vyvanse. Wellbutrin helps with motivation to do something. The Vyvanse helps even more, but in a somewhat different way. I am much more able to accomplish things when I take the meds, start a project, see it through, etc. Also, I can concentrate better with the Vyvanse and not be so easily distracted. It also gives me a feeling of "I can do this", although I have come to realize that sometimes it is a false positivism. But nonetheless, sometimes it is good to feel that way even if not true.
