I've been struggling with ADD for a long time, it didn't really start bothering me until I was about 13-14. I'm 21 now. Over the years the doctors have tried prescribing me weird combinations of anti-depressants, which never help. They literally make things worse, extreme worse. I am at this point now where typing this message and conveying all my ideas is difficult. I can barely focus on conversations I have with friends, daily task, and just in general routine things. I know people say sobriety brings normality/routine in your life (or so I have learned in rehab), but there is really no way I can live like this anymore and be a productive human being. I actually had to switch doctors recently because the lady that was prescribing me all these ridiculous combo's off anti-depressants and I got into an argument. I just in general told her she was fucking nuts, in a mild-mannered way. She knew I had ongoing issues with opiates, but I recently went to rehab to get my opiate addiction under control, and I now possess the tools to help with my sobriety. I go see my new doctor again soon, and she is pretty cool/understanding. I really want to ask her to see if I could test a small dosage of dexamp to see if it would help with my focusing issues, but who knows how that will go. I'm just really tired of living like this bluelight. Life is a mess, and I just need to vent. This shit is messing with every aspect of my life, I can't even enjoy hobbies anymore because I get so sidetracked..~ What a life.. what a life.
Also: Does anybody who suffers from ADD have a preference to what works better. Methylphenidate or dexamphetamine?
