It's good that you have an appointment with your doc.  If he or she is not comfortable with evaluating and treating you a psychiatrist might be, but they take a long time to get to see so hopefully you doc can start you on something.  Keep in mind that meds take trial and error so don't give up or get discouraged.

Hi my name is Liz.   Iam 27 and i have 4 boys.  12,8,5,and28 months.  all of mychildren have some sort of medical proplem.  the 12 has tourettes the 8 year old have pretty severe ADD, the  five year old i think has ADHD but has not been diagnnosed yet.  and just recently my 28 month old was diagnosed with PDD; NOS.  so i have a lot on my plate.  my mother alos has ADD.  i know that i have it also but have triedto deal with it without meds.  i have tried a few herbel meds but they didnt help at all.  but know its like i cant handle it anymore.  so i made an appt to see my dr for tomorrow.  my mind feels like its going every direction and cant grab just one thought.  my mom is on ritalin and it helps her very much.  she thinks i should mention tha med to my dr.  can you give me advice/  or what do you think would be the best thing for me//
