BryonA82, I am so sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time. My son has ADD as well as me. He does not see the difference when he takes his meds (strattera), but my husband and I absolutely do, and his grades go from f’s, d’s, and c’s to A’s and B’s. His attitude is so much better when he is consistently taking them and he is so much more able to follow instruction. You may not be seeing the difference yourself, but if it is the same as my son, there is a big difference that for some reason you are blind to.
Don’t give up, just keep on keepin on. Maybe the adderal isn’t for you. That is what my son was on first and then the dr put him on the strattera. Strattera is a non-stimulant that builds in the system over time and stays there 24/7 as long as you are consistant, where as adderall is a stimulant and leaves the system. Just know this, you are so not alone, I am 40 and am still trying to find my way, but have many blessings that I have collected along the way.
zsazsa, it is so refreshing to hear a teacher that really does care and take the time to recognize that it isn’t just a lack of trying. I really wish I could look back and see more teachers like you in my educational history. I have to say the only ones were my art teacher and my photography teacher in high school. Thank you for making such a difference in so many lives!
