I know, I know, long time no post. I got distracted!

Quick Reader's Digest...I'm 39 and just got dx'd with ADD in February. Our 7 1/2 yo son is also dx'd. I'm currently not taking any meds for my ADD. I have full bottles of Prozac and Wellbutrin but honestly, I'm feeling great and now recognize the signs of ADD when it threatens to take over my life (house goes to pot, lots of time online, work not getting done in a timely fashion). I've gotten two promotions at work...granted, they were in the works long before my dx but they came at a great time in our lives.

Anyway, Mac (our son) got a script for Strattera, 18 mg taken with food at night. I understand it's not a stimulant. Of course the online info is made out to be horrific. I'd just like to hear some of your experiences.

Also, our psych and therapist don't believe in testing. They are strictly observational dx's. I understand their approach but then I hear from an acquaintance of mine that her daughter had an initial ADD dx but has since been IQ tested, etc, and now she's taking her girl to a neurologist for seizures. Thoughts?

Okay, time to focus (HAHAHAHAH!) and get crackin' on the next 13 chapters of HP7. I'm up to chapter 13 but needed a break. It's so intense!
