Hello harleydgirl,
Welcome! and two great posts!
There seems to be disagreement in the medical community as to What ADD is, and how it should be treated. They are people, even though some of them try to elevate themselves above the rest of us unwashed masses. I found it amusing that I had to educate my doctor on ADD, before we could have a reasonable discussion on the subject. I don’t need a referral to see a specialist, but he was irritating me to the point I started looking for another doctor.
Medication won’t “cure” you, nor will it make all your symptoms go away. Medication, along with coaching and counseling, might allow you time to change your behavior.
So if sugar and carbs (I love those as well) are your weakness, meds might let you ask yourself “Self? Do you really need that?”, instead of what happens to me now which is “Self? Did you just eat that whole plate of fries?”
I don’t notice many changes, unless I look for them, but my wife tells me there are HUGE differences between my brain and my brain on meds.
