[quote=Anonymous]I am kind of the outlier here. I was diagnosed at 7 with inattentive ADD. It was so severe they thought I was having absense seizures but I was actually day dreaming. It is pretty rare for a female to get an ADD diagnosis in the early 80's. As an adult with ADD I am completely dependent on medication to function appropriately. Mine is very severe though. I am on one of the highest doses of Concerta as well as short acting ritalin for gap periods in the evenings should I need it. I'm also on Lamictal to help with impulsivity (the kind where you go out to lunch and come home with a new car). With impulsivity this severe I really have trouble if I take medication breaks because I'll end up over spending, getting a puppy, etc. On medication I function quite well but I'll never be "normal". I've got a good job, a house, good credit, no debt, etc.[/quote]
