Yes it is very very cool. Our situations sounds very similar, though I feel that I don't want to take a break from Adderall - too much lost time already in my life. And life is short. I crash w/o adderall or RItalin, but not with LExapro - which I take for the depression which acompanies my ADD. I am not hyperactive either. And yes, it seems that these meds (along with my diagnosis) have been a true blessing - although I had to dianose myself - and then talked to shrinks and MD's about it - who concurred wholeheartedly.
I will continue on Adderall. My Dr. has prescribed me 40mg XR per day - and I'll start with that. IF I need vacations, I expect that Ritalin may help with the "off" times - therre seems to be much debate about cross-tolerance. I suspect there is very little.
THanks for your reply - and I wish you all the best. Its nice to be "reborn" - isn't it??
