Currently I am not on any ADD medication, though I desperately need some. Concerta was suggested due to its non stimulant properties but I have heard bad things about it, along with about an only 50 percent or so success rate.
I believe it is the DSM-IV that has reclassified ADD/ADHD recently into ADHD-PI and ADHD-PH. These refer to Attention Deficit - Primarily Inattentive and Attention Deficit - Primarily Hyperactive.
Inattentive would be more of a daydreamy type of disorder, Hyperactive would be more of a bouncing off the walls type.View Thread

I have been on a large amount of meds all my life so I have no way to compare how I feel now to feeling "normal", or free from medication.
Any knowledge on this is appreciated. As always TIA!View Thread
