elevatedsoul , Hello. trying to get help for ADHD as an adult is really hard and it shouldn't be. That doctor needs to diagnose you by your childhood history or problems that you are having focusing or attention span problems or hyperactivity...the list goes on. I really dislike that treatment providers don't think it is important to treat adults. I am sorry for this. Is this the right doctor for you? Therapist can help to diagnose ADD or ADHD as well. Let us know how the Strattera works. Regards.
