Strattera, works for me, but I have to remember to take it when I get up and at lunch time. Or else, I will begin to drift. It works for me, but that suprises me that it doesn't for you. Hmmmm If you ever read, "Delivered From Distraction" written by Rattey and Howell? In their book, they give an impression that one drug just isn't for everybody. If I remember correctly, they indicate that some individuals take a combination of meds to control their gift.
Another thing that really curbs the mental relapses, is excercise. Hopefully, ya'll with ADHD gets in an hour excercise in a day. It is noted that it is a natural way of stimulating the mind. For me, it works, I have numerous outlets to do: run, lift, hunt and Rugby (my crutch for 15 years). But, there will be a change with the baby coming up and also hernia surgery. I look at this way, it's just bump ( a good one I might add) in the road that I'll get through one way or another.
gtrplayer, have you tried Adderal? I have heard that it works. Just remember, not all ADHD meds work the same for everybody.
