I am going to the doc tomorrow. At age 28 I think I have finally figured out that I have add....which I would have nver guessed, but boy do I.
Anyway, I've always been this way, so I am wondering exactly how medication changes you? I am an AWFUL procrastinator, very, very forgetful, can't finish anything, figity, etc. etc....a pill makes all that go away? Seems impossible. I'd like to hear how medication made you feel after you took it for a while. Thanks.

Xander, I realize you posted this 3 months ago but this is my first time to this site, I hope you get this!
I wanted to say that meds should not be thought of as a cure! I was diagnosed 2+yrs ago and I started Adderall and am now taking Concerta. But throughout this time I have not been 100% comfertable with taking meds! When it comes to recalling aspects of my history, both pre/post diagnosis, it has always been in the back of my head that there was something "wrong" with me but as I would search within myself this "feeling" I have found that what I come out with is always a positve view of myself. I realize again and again that I simply see the world in a unique way. I could go on with this but I do not want to ramble. I want to end by sharing with you and the others that may read this that I use meds as a tool to assist me in the functions of my daily life as it is right now but I look forward to a time when I will not have to rely on meds to get me through the day because in the back of my head I feel that taking meds is a little too close to admitting that there might just be something a wee bit wrong with me and I will not allow myself to agree!
I hope things are working out for the better with you regardless of my little rant there! Take care. -pvc
