Location: My perfect world bubble		My husband suffers from ADD, it's gotten worse as he's gotten older.  A couple years ago, around age 40, he went to a doctor who specializes in nothing but ADD and ADHD.  The doctor doesn't take insurance and it was a 2 month wait to get in to see him.  He went through extensive testing and analysis before starting a treatment plan.

He's now on a low dose daily of adderall and has the ability to adjust up or down if needed.  He's found the dosage now that seems to work best but there was a period of trial and error.  Because it's a controlled substance he has to be very diligent about getting in every 30 days for a new prescription.

He does have some challenges if he goes several days without it - moody and tired - but once he gets back on it I see an immediate change.  I can tell within 24 hours if he hasn't taken it.

Good Luck - it takes a strong person to work through it.  I know my husband struggled for a long time because he was too ashamed and embarrassed to see a doctor.  When it started affecting his ability to do his job is when he sought help.
