I think misdx's happen all the time with ADHD. Mainly because ADHD is not well defined and often causes or is a comorbidity with other disorders such as depression and anxiety.

I do not believe I am currently suffering from depression, but I believe I was experiencing a depressive episode that made my ADHD symptoms no longer manageable with innervention. Now that I've experienced the benefits of medication, I decided to continue with this treatment for now.

I think at times (like this week) I experience intermittent sensory integration issues. Wheither these are considered pathological or not... I don't know. Not sure if this is because of my ADHD; but when I am not on medication for my ADHD it is definately harder for me to deal with them.

I am on Adderall and I feel... what I consider normal now. When off this medication I tend to zone out and get very agitated when presented with a busy environment. My patience is much improved while on the Adderall.

Occasionally I will take a low dose of short-acting Propranolol when I know I am going to face a particiularly stressful situation (like therapy this week). I really don't feel any major difference when I combine these medications. Other than... I don't feel the racing heart and throat restriction as much. I don't feel mentally impaired, more talkative, or more emotional. I don't know if this is a real benefit or just a placebo effect--but whatever--I think it helps.
