This really sounds like me. I have played hit and miss with AD's and stims over the past 5 years. I do a combination of a ssri and lithium. This seems to work well, however, I am considering a complete round of tests on my thyroid. I know that you can have "normal" test results and still be hypothyroid. The symptoms of hypothyroidism are so close to depression / ADD that it is impossible at times to tell them apart. And by the way, several of the symptoms of hypothyroidism are depression, inability to concentrate, irritibility etc...

Also, as I am making this post, my wife just told me that her best friend (teacher-early childhood/special needs)told her that they check the back of the children's shirts to see if the tag has been cut out. Obviously a non-proven diagnostic test for ADHD, but it must point to the fact that the tag is a distraction and therefore must be removed? By the way, I have been removing the tags from my shirts for years.
