Hello,
I have un-treated ADD. I've had it my whole life and am just now seeking help. My doctor didn't want to get me on meds yet because she wants to make sure it's not bi-polar or both; so I'm tracking my moods. It's def. ADD and I've pretty much always known that. Inattentive, easily distracted, spacing out all the time, bored very easily( have to be picking at myself or doing something all the time) and so disorganized..trying to get better with that. A huge thing is my thoughts are constantly racing about all different things.
I have a couple questions. First, I know this is suppose to go under the meds forum but NOBODY will respond to my question so please let this stay here and hopefully answer
Has anyone used or is using Strattera and does it work for them? I can't handle stimulants cause of my anxiety- however I've heard some stimulants don't cause that..any advice on this will help.. I've gotten no response in the MEds forum prob bec there are few in there with ADD
2nd question is
What type of ADHD do you suffer with most? What other things have helped you to focus or stay calm..to control your thoughts and not get bored.

Thanks Nat
