people who tend to criticize people taking add drugs...and tend to say that add is no clinical classification...have probably never had the experience or been close to somebody afflicted with add...you would have to have add to realise the frustration it causes...
however @foggy...I have been told by a number of people who have add and have taken medications...that medications dont have any long term effect...they are good for increasing your focus over the short time...however if you continue taking them over and over again..they loose their effectiveness...
i have also been told that the best way to go is to go for coaching for adds...and I actually found a website which contains a number of add coaches...perhaps you might give that a try...i myself shall be going for a diagnosis this month.....
some of the things that I have found that work for me:
a)take up jobs that really challenge me to the extreme..
b)deligate boring jobs to others...and try to eliminate them as much as possible
c)maintain lists..and daily planners
d)do things that excite me
well the aboe is not easy to do..and I am not able to follow them most of the time...but I have found these simple principles make me most focussed and happy...
