Question:
Adults with ADD(inattentive)? UK only please?
I know there is quite a bit of info o this forum on ADD but a lot is for children and also in the US.
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

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.
