Re: OT: A.D.D.
Background:
I am 49, was diagnosed 4.5 years ago.
I graduated 1973
I was not dianosed untill the end of my second marriage, (when I ended up in therapy)
They put me on 60mg of Ritalin, (an upper) and 3mg of Klonopin, (a downer and a narcotic). every day.
I lost 40 lbs in 3 weeks because I stopped eating. Ritalin kills your appitite.
The Klonopin "takes the edge off".
During the next year and a half I was nearly fired 3 times for behavior issues. Go figure.
Statistic (that I can't back up at the moment so it constitutes hear say)
ADD is responsible for or present in 50 percent of divorces.
