Adults with ADD(inattentive)? UK only please?
My 39 yr old husband was diagnsed with it and being severely Dyslexic about 6 yrs ago. He is now on Methylphenidate 2 per a.m. and 2 fluoxetine(?) per day to combat the depression as a side effect of the other tablets.
Is there anyone else out there in a similar position in the UK/NorthWest, or any advice you can give. I would like some kind of network where I can chat to people and carers in a similar position to myself. Thanks
Answer:
Hi really good question - as I think many believe only children have this condition. I was diagnosed last year (32 now) - would be great to stay in touch and chat about it. Getting a diagnosis in adults is hard - good on you for getting there. You could set up a yahoo group for adult ADD- I would get involved- like you I feel abit out of sorts with it.
your husband should be proud of himself for sorting out his problem. i wish my ex husband would have. he knows he has these problems,(our son has a.d.h.d. as a result) but he does nothing to help himself and this in turn affects my 2 boys. WELL DONE YOU! keep up all your good efforts. well done you too, i know how difficult it is to deal with this. stick together, you'll be fine.
Hi,it is the first time I have heard of it.You must be very proud of your husband.Have you tried putting Adults with ADD in yahoo search there is loads of info.Good Luck
There doesn't seem to be a lot of support but it is interesting because the adhd child who subsequently becomes an adhd adult! And is then forced to vanish into life and disappear. And then cope with children with adhd and times can be very hard.
