Support Groups

Treatments
- Research Working / Worked
- Learning about ADHD has been very helpful. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 55, so it was a great relief to understand why I was the way I was.
- Ritalin Working / Worked
- Worked well, but fell asleep about 6 PM every evening. Switched to Provigil, (I also have mild narcolepsy) which also worked, but made me feel anxious.
- Tofranil Working / Worked
- Took it many years ago for depression. Had to stop because it made me itch all over.
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- Took for a short time. Stopped because of some side effect which I can no longer remember.
