ADHD

I am a 54 year old lady and just finally got the diagnosis that is correct. I am a disabled Veteran and it was my VA Psychiatrist that diagonosed me after two years of seeing him.
I am on ritalin 10 mg, 4 tablets throughout the day. It has increased the quality of mty life in so many ways.
All my life Family Dr's told me I had a "nerve problem" and have been given so many benzodiazeines......I would tell the Dr. that it just made me sleepy and did not help my symptoms....I am so glad to be free of those addicting drugs.

Wanted to share my experience and see what others experiences have been.
