Just Found Out I had Adult ADD Last Year | ADHD Information

Hi, this is my first time on the boards.  Like the subject says, I found out I have adult ADD last year and I am on Adderall XR.  The medication has really helped and I can tell if I forget to take it that day.  However, I also realize that I have many bad habits that I need to correct.  One is avoiding things that I don't want to do, i.e. housecleaning.  I know that I need to put myself on a routine, but I find that when I try to do so after a few days I rebel and feel constrained by the routine and don't keep to it and go back to my old ways.  How can I get through this tough time?Have you talked to any ADD Coaches yet? Most Coaches with give a free introductory Session.Thanks,  I think I may have found someone who can help since I posted the first time.Maybe you need your Adderall XR dosage increased.Thanks for the suggestion,  I have already spoken with my doctor and she agreed with you.  I now take 5 mg Adderall around 4 pm to handle this.I started on 10mgs and am now up to 30mgs of XR once in the a.m. It
does the trick! Remember, meds are a constant ongoing test until you
find out what works best for you. It took my friend a year to get the
correct mix of meds that worked best for her.
