Froggy,
hey, thanks for your kind message. :D
at the advice of my therapist, who's busy considering that _she_ may have ADD (and who I'm like, _she_ doesn't have it, she has a successful career!) -- I am reading "Women with attention deficit disorder". I almost cried when I looked at the list of symptoms, especially the question "have you watched others of equal IQ and ability pass you by?" and "are you clueless as to how others lead a consistent, regular life?" my girlfriend very much agreed with the symptoms. she's struggled with watching me leave a trail wherever I go, calling me 'the absentminded professor.'
I don't know. I guess I'm feeling so much better off Zoloft, so 'awake,' that I'm feeling like I'm going to be ok. For years I've felt 'broken,' and now I don't. I almost feel selfish to use meds to take care of this one niggling issue.
If I could get/afford a SPECT scan, it would be great because I could SEE for myself what's going on. If Amen said I had normal brain, I could feel like -- OKAY -- I will then work on these issues without medication.
p.s. how are your meds working?
