Quick note on ADD..

I will readily admit that I do have ADD... What everyone thought was personality quirks turned out to be a problem. As you can see from this blog..2 posts and then nothing for a good long while. But 2 months on the Adderal and life is good again. clear head calm mind and focus like I've never seen. I highly recommend at least doing the online assessments if you even think you might have it.
It started with an episode of Dr. Oz...Now I normally don't watch daytime TV otherwise I'd have way more issues than I really do. no joke! But it was about women using Adderal for weight loss rather than for its intended use for ADD. Then they actually talked to several women who described their issues and symptoms....which literally sounded like they were talking about me. Scared me a bit, but woke me up to what the bigger problem...maybe it was something that was missed way back in the appt for post partum depression 11 years ago. It could have possibly saved all of this from happening now.

Here are a few links:

These are not to diagnose anything, nor am I, I just wanted to provide a few links that helped me decided whether or not to make an appointment to see my doctor.
