 thanks, and sorry about the large font

[/QUOTE]

I like larger fonts.

And blank lines between sentences.

Too lazy often to do them though, but they are good ideas I think.

 

 we show each other everyday that we love each other, we have been through rough things together, but we forgive and we love each other more.....I know we can get through all of this, I have never thought that we couldn't thanks for the reply

Sorry forgot resistance is on bored tooHey there,
How do you feel now after a little sleep and taking the med on time?
I am on Ritalin which by most accounts is harsher, but I like it a lot.
If it helps any, I have a little larger than normal vocabulary I think, and I talk a lot, and I stutter like a fool quite often and always have.
But a pet peeve: When I call someone, they answer the phone, my first word is never "uhhhhh" :-).

first reply lost in mysterious "aether"that surrounds my brain and computer.

Ill try again .(I built it ,and its like me,and its like my son,and itslike my daughter,tell it to do something and if you don't forget,it will).

 I'ts hard to hear about such a SH888Y childhood, i'm just starting to realize what my ex. wife must've been going through.  I have just recently realized that "there is a hole " in my mind. All of the adult family members who might've had a clue as to what might've really happened to me has passed away and i"ll have to see about researching medical files for clues (if i can get them?)to find out if my personality died when I was eight , Or if its just in a coma for thirty two years

As far as your S.O., explain that U love him and need to work WITH HIM!!!

I know this is hard but If he also has adhd ,you may have to pick only one or two problems to discuss for weeks at a time to see any improvementwithout medication.

  I personally think that like meets like, and if you think you,re a challenge for him,then the converse  may also be true,which may be where true bonds can be strengthened

hey thanks for replying:

I started on 20mg(AdderallXR) on monday,thats what she(the doc) wanted to do, its once early morning,like an idiot I took my first dose after my appointment at 3:30 in the pm...so thats why I was awake for so long.... my reasons for being put on this med is this: I have have alot of tragedy happen in my lifetime so far and when I was a kid I was shy, interverted, couldn't make friends easily, and looked at the world diffrently than others, I had sh*tty parents, they were drug users, so no stability there..they are passed away now...I'm trying to see if my mom's side of the family has this disorder, cause all my dad's family is gone, so I can't ask them.I have already been through a abusive first marriage and he passed away 4 and half years ago. I am remarried now to a wonderful person, but he has been thru similar things, he lost his wife while she was pregnant(neither survived)in 98...so we both suffer from PTSD...and he is now being diagnosed with possible ADHD and possible bi-polar borderline.....he is a great person though...he can get quite hyper and joke alot, a mind racer.. and then somedays he gets real low....I'm not hyper...but my mind races. I get anxious, and unmotivated, very fatiged and get real low. so it's all crazy,he has a hard time being in crowds, but has no problem meeting new people and talking with them with ease, I'm opposite really, I can be in large crowds just fine.... BUT get me in a room to meet new people and I just cringe I don't know what to say and I don't have much to say, I am usually very quiet.Anyway...for now

Hello,

 I have been recently diagnosed with ADHD-innatentive,I'm 29....this is my 3rd day on AdderallXR 20mg once a day, went the first two days with no sleep,I had been on different antidepresents for years, and nothing worked....I have been reading this board for days and there is such a wide range of symtoms from the medicine. My son,age 12 was also diagnosed too, and he was put on 10ml of the same medicine and he is doing well so far....anyway I was very pissy and disconnected yesterday, probably from no sleep and had to go to a school fuction for my 5 year old son, it was bad, I hid from everyone and I talked to nobody I felt like a zombie, I went home to my find my wonderful husband was home from work and just started crying and fell into his arms, I felt like a bad mom, it doesnt help that I have one daughter starting high school and my older son starting middle school and my baby starting kindergarten all at the same time.....anyway I 'm not sure yet how this medicine is going to work for me, it wakes me up, it seems to make me want to talk more, and I can focus directly on something, but yesterday when I tried to call my son's school I stuttered like and idiot, like I couldn't get my words out...anyway I not making much sense here...it's nice to be here.

  NOT really a problemyet ,you're not used to the meds yet,but I dont know what level you started off with. I'm going tomorrow for testing for adhd and I already know I won't like some of the side effects i've read about. But if you have already spoken to a psychologist /psychiatrist  and theres no underlying problems (anxiety,compulsive/obsessive ,etc.) behaviour then try to give them a few days to balance out .Sometimes I stutter like an idiot and I'm not on medications yet, thththth ank god that I can actually back this thing up or I mighe be slurring  my words too..

 david or kidd might be able to answer you better on the meds but don't give up hope,everyone has to fight for their right to be right.
