SweetJane, thank you very much. I haven't asked to be on the anti-depressant meds in a while. They did take the edge off the ADD meds but I find I prefer to manage the depression and other aspects of the emotional roller-coaster ride with natural techniques. And overall, since I could be taking six different prescriptions for this and other things I've been diagnosed with, I've tried to cut back on the meds I take overall. But the ADD medication, well, that just makes such a difference in my ability to maintain focus and do the types of multi-tasking that so many jobs require these days. It really is a boon and I do miss it.

Funny story: When I was first diagnosed, I was prescribed Adderall. My doctor and I refined the prescription to what strength worked best and settled on a time-release formula. And I stuck to that prescription through 3 consecutive doctors. And it wasn't until I got to my current doctor that I agreed to switch to Vyvanse. I found it to be much more effective, and in talking it over with my doctor I discovered that I should have been taking the Adderall TWICE a day and not just once! It would have been nice to know that nine years earlier!
