Re: NO medication IS better

@Larynxa – bravo, well said!!! Too true.

I’ve tried it 54 years, no drugs. Companies I’ve worked for have tried organizational things, PDAs, logs, lists, you name it, no worky

Personal relationships have suffered, I’m on 3rd wife and thank GOD (sorry for the non-believers) she is who SHE is, or I’d be single again.

She “puts up with me”. There’s just something there that has clicked. Maybe we BOTH know that each of us is very hard to live with and we’ve adapted. Dunno.

The drugs are now having little impact – but while they worked, I did find that decisions, right or wrong, were a bit easier, my speech was shorter, to the point, less rambling, and my wife herself noticed that when she asked for me or my help, there was no argument, it was a “I’ll be right there” instead of being upset at the interruption. Now if SHE noticed, then the meds helped.

I’ve seen counselors, etc as well…….

For me personally with MY brand of ADD as SEVERE as I PERSONALLY have it, in the combination of effects I personally have, 3 doctors including a neuro-psychologist, sleep doctor and behavioral specialist all agreed – MEDS, THEN work on the rest when the meds help break down the walls ADD put up. Meds will help tear down SOME walls in SOME cases, the rest will still be up to …. ME.
