    Thanks guys, im going to talk to my doc on monday
    I tried that with my doctor and he said I definatly have ADHD.

    My teachers as a kid would send me to get tested but I never took anything for it because I was too proud, even as a kid.

    I've never taken even a pain killer.

    When I went to my doctor to get on something finally, because I was spending a ton of money on college and did not want to under perform, he decided he would not prescribe it anymore.

    He gave me lexapro instead. He went on to say that for the last 20 years, kids who have been depressed, have been miss diagnosed with ADD instead, and the symptoms are almost the exact same.

    But I think the Lexapro rep probably just bought him a vacation, or put some Pistons tickets in his pocket.

    a fellow michigan person i see. got a question, my gf takes adderal for her ADHD and she hates taking it but she pretty much has to cuase if she dont then she cant focus on ANYTHING. i know her body is pretty addicted to it by now shes been on for a long ass time, 8 years or more i think. would lexapro be a good substitute that would still help her?
