In the context of my so many anxiety disorders, an ADHD diagnosis is very hard. However, I am preety sure I have it. Its annoying when I have so much science to CONCENTRATE on!!!
Cant get stimulants here in Australia unless you see a shrink- I don't and wont!
Anyone got any ideas?
All I can think off is Clonidine to mix with my Nardil...or use Valium or another benzo REGULARLY...(still considering Xanax long term- looks possible...)
Thanks dudes and dudettes!Ace
Nardil 60
Zyprexa 2.5

I'm on Strattera, and was told it's not a stimulant.

Anyway, I'm curious to know why are you thinking about benzos for ADHD issues ...
it seems strange to me, but maybe you know something I don't, so, share it : )

Strattera is a non-stimulant, ADHD med. that is actually classified as an anti-depressant. Check out the board for user experiences with it. Good Luck,

If you can get a dopamine agonist, try that before clonidine which, as francesco said, is worthless for attention.
