So sorry that happened! Give yourself time to heal, you may need more time than you think once the shock has worn off.

I saw about your DD and meds. I wonder if you have tried any natural supplements? I ask because I have ADD and have found Taurine, Tyrosine, and GABA to be INCREDIBLY beneficial -- like as good or better than Adderall without the scary side effects. They soooo help with the stress, anxiety, irritability in addition to inattentiveness/attention-switching problems.

If you google, you'll see lots of stuff. I saw one supplement (Focus Formula for Children) http://www.nutrasanus.com/focus-formula-product.html that looks good, though I've never used it. Instead, I use individual supplements.

Anyway, if my DD starts showing signs of ADD I'll use something like that before trying Adderall and such. The difference in me is as dramatic as with prescription meds, much evener, and I don't have to worry about taking the supplements too late in the day.


Best,
Oldtimer
