"i&#039;m 42, highly successfully in my career and family life but always thought i had add or adhd .  i got decent grades in high school and college but always felt like it was a struggle  and i would have to beat myself up for hours with guilt and fear of failure to produce even passing results.  after 20 years, i&#039;ve decided to actually do something about it.  i tried both adderall and vyvanse and vyvanse is superior because it&#039;s less harsh.  i&#039;ve benefited from it but it does make me anxious..  i take ativan to help with that..  i&#039;m also on brintellix. i hate being on tons of meds but if i can increase my quality of life and be a better person it&#039;s worth it.
