    • addictive

    from The Gift of Adult ADHD by Lara Honos-Webb

    I stopped reading the book when I read this. Unfortunately my general physician feels the same way about stimulant meds. My ADD psychiatrist consultant says it’s not true.

    Haaa……My family phys. feels the same…….I don’t think he is educated in ADD much…….When I was having chest tightening from the Adderall XR, he pulled it from me immediatly. Didn’t even want to give it more time. I was only on it for 2 weeks. Tried to then prescribe Strattera. $50 a month! Adderall XR was $10. Can’t afford the $50………Phych says she will try to refer me to another doc!…….She said some just aren’t educated enough in that area and just brush you off……….

    … I wouldn’t disagree that being able to think and function well is addicting. I’d ALWAYS rather be calm and focused than bouncey and all over the place! I don’t think that’s a bad kind of addiction! I’m pretty addicted to breathing and eating and drinking water, too….

    some people!
