thank you. both my boyfriend and i should definetely check out that chadd website--it's true, an adult diagnosis often leaves one with years of coping mechanisms that no medication can really mediate. that's why i keep encouraging him to talk to a therapist who specializes in ADD treatment--because having me point out that procrastinating/being a pack rat/getting wrapped up in grandiose projects when there's homework to get done...that's just nothing new. after a while it just begins to sound like nagging.i've tried to get him to try wellbutrin, since it's not an ssri, but the combined stimulant effects might be too much, etc. we should look into it.
thanks!
