Hi Steven-I also take Adderall-the XR kind and find it helpful, especially with controling impulsivity. With out the medicine I have zero control over impulsivity which is the root cause of most of my problems. I am a changed person because of the...

Well, I'm back on the Adderall (generic), and have been taking Cymbalta now for about three weeks. I guess I am feeling a bit less anxiety, will keep monitoring it in the meantime... As for the Adderall, I guess it is something good for me, at lea...

I hope you are doing well on the new meds. I am taking Adderall XR and Adderall, Wellbutrin SR, and Celexa to keep me as much me as I can be. I also have stopped taking the Adderall and cut back on Wellbutrin for a while, and it took about two mon...

I've been on Adderall for around 10 years, tried going off it for a few months, as I felt it wasn't doing enough, and why take something if I don't have to. Well, at first, I felt a sense of being more "in my body", and was hopeful I'd feel better...

Maybe I have sort of experienced the same thing. I would get kind of drifty. I would feel so comfortable, relaxed in not having to think or worry about anything that...well it's almost like a moment where I'm sleeping with my eyes open/how a pers...

Dawn replied to Dawn's discussion 'Biofeedback'

Thanks so much for the info. I'll check it out. I'm glad to her that its working for you kids! I'm going to the doctor next month and he does biofeedback for other things but not of ADD/ADHD. I'm going to see if I can get him to try it on me. I'll...

Louise replied to Dawn's discussion 'Biofeedback'

Both my kids did neurofeedback with a certified neuropsychologist. One did around 25 hours of training and the other around 50 hours. I have noticed a good change in their ability to focus, stabilize their emotions, refrain impulses and moving aro...

Dawn commented on Bryan Hutchinson's blog post 'What is your hidden talent? What About Susan Boyle'

I did see it yesterday. She's great! I sometimes feel like I have this secret, like I have somthing great in me that others can't see or understand for themselves. I guess it's my creativity. I get joy from creating something. Other people don't g...
