wow- i totally appreciate all of these comments- and in particular, sugargremin, your initial question. it was suggested by new psychiatrist last week that i may have adhd. i saw him for my extreme sleep difficulties and anxiety. he changed my meds around so i could afford them (!!!)- taking celexa for anxiety and restoril for sleep. he suggested i look into adhd and discuss with him in a few weeks what i’ve discovered. i can identify with MUCH of what has been posted in this thread (!!) – and am extremely fortunate that my husband actually attends to most of the daily household tasks. i am most interested in the treatment of adhd with my anxiety and sleep issues . . . is there a medication that may be better than what i’m taking . . . that would also NOT exacerbate my anxiety and sleep issues (and help my function better!!) . . . and my medications are mostly out of pocket so also interested in an AFFORDABLE medication . . . THANKS for any suggestions/recommendations!!
