Meds can be touch-and-go
My expectation is that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy would be better than meds (if I could find a CBT in my neck of the woods)
Best of all is to embrace the "disability" and stop thinking of it as such, but as an expression of life's diversity - learn to love his differences (apart from med reactions)
I am in a relationship and my partner is ADD. It can be very difficult. We found his medication was EXTREMELY off, causing major depression and anxiety. He has now been treated and things are seeming better, I guess I just want/need to hear it will continue to do so...
