    Yes but HD, it’s free, ask yourself what you’ve got to lose trying it out? Nothing ventured, leaves you right where you are. I’m not connected to Pete but he’s ADD, heads the Vancouver ADD groups that meet 1x a month, is sincere, and isn’t out to grab your loot. He has a ton of good references and lots of links on his site to help, if you want to read lots. I can’t soak in squat reading though.

    Good luck, Jim

    FWIW, same for me. I use Adderall daily, but it’s effect for me is simply to get me started. It removes the procrastination. For organization I have to follow all the advice of self help books and a coach. Break things into small, manageable pieces and tackle them as best you can. Keeping logs, make lists, etc. It sounds boring, but it’s not. I would strongly recommend the coach I used who is listed on this site – see below for free trial coaching session: Pete Quilly. Based in Vancouver, I was able to work with Pete over the ‘phone as I live in a rural area. He had solid advice, set up schedules for me, and I still use his stuff daily. It will cost a few $, but I think since meds seemed to not have had any helping effect, this is worth a try. Good luck, Jim

    FWIW I tried it late last year, with assurances I would soon be off Adderall. After perhaps 5 visits or so and being told that my brain wave patterns had changed, I was advised I could try no meds. The result? Back to the foggy, overwhelmed world of procrastination. Personally I subjectively suggest this is a waste of $. Just my .02, Jim
