Topic: RE: what is your opinion and have you ever?? Deb's "getting neked"
As I was reading down through the posts I was trying to think of what my friend is taking and then Rose said it, that one that starts with an S (maybe I'm ADD too cuz I already forgot what she said!) He's in his late 30s, was talking to his wife's aunt about all his distractions and struggles and she looked at him and said, "You have ADD, call your Dr." And he did. He got tested, was given that S drug and his whole world changed...for the better. So I encourage you to look into it.

Hi Deb - I know a bit about ADD. My husband and son are there. If you can, there are an amazing bunch of books by Edward Hallowell about Adult ADD: Driven To Distraction and especially Delivered from Distraction. Ritalin does reduce appetite. My friend's son is on it and he's a really skinny kid and it is a concern for her and her husband. My son is actually taking Straterra and it seems to help quite a bit and he doesn't have any side effects. My husband isn't taking any meds though and we manage. Hallowell really helped me a lot though. I always say that if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have married my husband 12 years ago. He helped me understand my husband in a way that I could figure out how to commit my life to him. (Ned's local - in Sudbury - and I saw him a few times.)

Well, you know... ritalin or ataral is nothing to mess with. I know med students that try to take it for enhanced performance in school. You'd think they'd know that it hurts your kidneys to take those drugs. I think everyone has a bit of ADD. I certainly do. I cannot stand to read as I think much faster than I can read... and on top of that, I am always thinking about other things. To be honest, caffeine helps me concentrate (but not too much caffeine). I would be very careful with those drugs. They can be very dangerous. I know that people with eating disorders do well with Welbutrin and binge eaters do well with Topamax. If you are hungry all the time, neither drug will work (those did nothing for me). I couldn't bring myself to try ADD drugs. They are too drastic to mess with. I wish I could get something to help me focus more on my studies. I can barely go 15 minutes of reading before needing a break, but I get by and I will continue to do so! Good luck with your decision!
