I’m sorry, I had to chuckle – it’s not funny, really – but in a way it is – it’s SO classic ADD!

At least you are ok with yourself.

I had a nice long chat with my sleep doctor yesterday. The ADD person put me on that 20mg Adderall XR, then yesterday I found out that the papers I signed releasing them to share any and all information between each other worked. The sleep doc and the ADD person chatted, and came up with a plan. The sleep doc suggested to the ADD one that “psycho-stimulants” be used, and Adderall is often used to treat some of the sleep issues I have. She said “you realize that 20 is a really low dose, don’t you” and I said, no, I thought it was medium, I’ve only ever seen 30 used on ADD. She replied, no, for treatment of sleep issues, they often go as much as 60mg. She was hopeful that in treating the sleep issues (which the Adderall IS starting to help a little) that it might help with the ADD, too – but she thinks I’ll need a higher dose.

Then she said “remember, this is for life”…………(meaning it’s forever)
