I am a wife with ADHD - had no idea the effect it was having on my husband (married 31 years ). Hormones came into the equation too. Now that I know he's not to blame for my problems things are X1000 better!

He has put up with a lot of anger over the years. Now things are different and better - but I am becoming 'myself' at last so the relationship is also changing!

You can also check out ADHD coaches that are in your area. They might be able to help you. Power Systems coaching also works on relationship coaching as well as life coaching such as organization, etc. I would definitely google it.

I was dx'd with adhd and on Ritalin and I was mainly very delayed and hyperactive. My son wasw dx'd with adhd at age 3 and put on Ritalin, then Concerta, then Adderall and many others. They made him all sick when they wore off in his system and one day at age 5 I caught him attempting to drink some wine in an attempt to self medicate as his Ritalin was wearing off. I met a hollistic doctor (the best one yet!) He suggested using Omega vitamins only in lieu of stimulants in conjunction with exercise, deterents, distractions etc ... when he felt "out of control." He is an honor roll student now and I think that all or most of us with adhd must find our niche in ife and use exercise as a great vice to overcome so much of our additional energies that build up and create so much havoc in our lives. Take care.

Hi there,
Have you been taking Adderall or? I am 45, with severe PMS and mood swings/anger... My doctor and I have been discussing Adderall, but I'm afraid of most big Pharma, so have just tried to get along in life as best I can. Work is extremely demanding now and my focus, productivity os more critical than ever... I'm at a crossroads. Any insights would be appreciated.
