I have had adhd all my life and the same pdoc from being 22 to 42 then he retired im now 45. The point is i have forgotten criteria for meeting an adhd diagnosis. I have a new pdoc and want to go see him prepared so if anyone can point me to a site that would give me a list of adhd traits i would appreciate it then i can mark off what affects me. Its a new start with this Dr and when he says what reasons do you think you have adhd i dont want to sit there twiddling my thumbs and legs and feet ..... because quite honestly ive forgotten all about adhd my old pdoc diagnosed me and we moved on. I currently take a high dose of clonidine and it works for me.. now i have to explain why it works, am i making any sense at all and all roads lead to about.com which is a myriad of advertising and im going around in circles. Thank you.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
