Introduction

I am an adult who recently has been diagnosed with ADD. Iwant to join this group to learn and try to understand why I cant focus without medication. I think I would benefit from others in the same situation.

When were you diagnosed or if you weren't, when did you first suspect ADD?

I was diagnosed a year ago when I went back to college. I was never really organized and always tried to do many things at the same time. I never really could focus on one task at a time.

How far back do your symptoms go?

As far back as i can remember. I did not realize that I had symptoms I thought that it was the way every one was.

ADD can bring some strong postives. What are yours?

When I can focus I give 100% to the task at hand.

What medications/treatements have you tried?

Ritalin is the only medication that I have tried and seemed to have success with it.

What three areas do you have the most difficulty with?

staying focused, completing tasks and organization.

Additional Information

"Is ther a way to get to the Jackson Mann community center by the MBTA ? I would be coming from chelsea and think I would have to take the green line? Would I also have to take a bus? thanks, susan"
