Moka,

Oddly enough, I got bumped up to the next level. of 36mg. Feedback from my wife has been that there hasn’t been that much difference from the minimum dosage to that of 27mg. Now, I have noticed a big difference with the 36 mg. I have noticed that my focus is more on point. For example, yesterday I set about to finish off some renovations that I had started well over two months ago. Drywall work didn’t appeal to me that much but yesterday I went hardcore and finished the sanding and the priming for the painting which I am doing today. I have one wall done and going to commence on the second one shortly. My wife asked me to have this done prior to Christmas, strangely enough, it looks like I am on track to meet that deadline. Before any of this, that deadline would have only been acknowledged and then quickly forgotten and tossed to the wayside.

I believe that it is a combination of a couple of things. The medication, the organization training, and the military, all this combined is a structured environment that seems to work for ADHD folks, so I have been told by my psychiatrist.

So all in all, things seem to be working out so far. This is only day on the 36mg and so we’ll see how this next week plays out.

Moka, all the reading and research that I have done and all that my psychiatrist has said points towards the a ‘co-morbid’ condition. Meaning for me at least that I have both ADHD and that of a memory impairment. She has mentioned that with treating the ADHD first, that there is a chance that the memory issue may improve. If nothing else, it will allow us to isolate which is more prominent. Then, we can take aim and look at treating both; however, dealing with ADHD first is the prime focus memory issues can be handled at a different time.

Perhaps in your case, if there are panic attacks in the back ground, dealing with ADHD and then looking at just how much of a role that panic attacks play. Treating the ADHD and taking care of it might just see the panic attacks disappear or at least allow you to deal with them much easier.

I am quite sure that things will work out for you, if they have worked out for me, than there is always hope and happiness coming for you!
