Hi,
I have recently tried Ritalin for my ADD, and find that although it does quieten me down and makes me more foccussed, this is because in effect it slows down my thoughts and so I find it makes me think alot slower and this is noticeable when I am reading a book and it takes me much longer to understand it than it normally would. Because of this negative effect, I have decided not to continue on it. However, I have not found any alternative solution that works. I have found what works is really strenuous exercise because i think it stimulates dopamine which I believe is the brain chemical i lack? Does anyone know what the connection is between dopamine and ADD and anyone had this experience with Ritalin?
