[QUOTE="busywend, post: 105761, member: 391"] Kathy, if you think you may have Adult ADD just speak to your general practitioner about it. They have a questionnaire you can fill out that will tell them a lot about your concentration and attention abilities. They will determine if it is truly affecting your quality of life. I have not mentioned this to many people, but I was just diagnosed myself. I have been taking the medications for about 2 weeks now. I have never seen such a big impact on a medication before. I have tried a few ADs over the last 6 years. None ever did a thing for me. The ADD medication allows me to truly get things done. It is really amazing how productive I am with its help. It makes me very happy to see that I am completing tasks now, and getting them done right. Last year I had to have some tests done for a nerve issue. Signs pointed to MS. When I read the symptoms and 'brain fog' was one of them....I had a way to describe what it was I was feeling all these years. Brain fog was the best way to describe the way I felt most days. I do not have MS. But, I did start my research on brain fog. I had tried Wellbutrin recently for anxiety and that helped a little bit with the focus which is what got me thinking about ADD. I knew it was used sometimes for ADD. Talked to the doctor and we just decided to try Adderall a few weeks ago. I had heard a few different schools of thought. Some say if you do not have ADD the medications will not do anything for you. Some say if you do not have ADD the medications will be a 'performance booster' for you. Well, it is a performance booster for me. But, I think that is what it is supposed to do for a person with ADD. I do not rush or speed on it. It just truly allows me to think clearly. The brain fog is gone. Truly gone. [/QUOTE]
