I was diagnosed with ADD about three years ago and started to take adderall for it without letting my husband know. I didn't tell him because I know him well enough to know he'd have huge issues with it. He thinks doctors pass out meds like candy. But my diagnosis was a very thorough 3 hr. test. I took it on/off for three years. (off for 2 pregnancies in between) Nothing changed about my personality, character, etc. I was the same person, only able to focus on my responsibilities more easliy and the medicine gives me energy where under normal circumstances I would be drained.. We have an 8,4,2,and 1 yr. old and need to be on top of things to give proper care. Often, babies waking up in the night give me sleepless nights and drain me, but the med helps. Also, it curbs appitite and keeps me trim..which, naturally, I like. My husband has major objection with this and I regret even telling him. We haven't stopped fighting about it since I told him a year ago. He wants me to stop, I don't.
