I think what the person above me is trying to get you to take is the brand name of Pine Bark Extract, which, I read has been proven to help ADD/ADHD some. It had a short write up in ADDitude magazine. I can't remember how to spell it either.

It won't go away, but you'll learn lots of 'tricks' in life to help you manage it. Grab some books on ADHD and organization or the book Driven to Distraction. Figure out what works and doesn't work for you.

Here are some good random tips to make your life smoother:

-Set loud timers for yourself. For everything. For the laundry (to remind you to change it over) For Dinner (so it doesn't burn) For how long you have to accomplish a task (like getting ready) To race against the clock so you finish a task before you get distracted.


- Get a basket that moves from the car into the house with you and back. Put in movies that need to be returned, mail to go out, things to drop off, grocery list, etc... Keep everything in it, and bring it back into the house with you. It will help keep your car from getting cluttered and it will help you not to forget some errands.

- Remember that as adults, ADHD means (for most) being late, getting off task easily, getting bored (or distracted) quickly, and driving our partners batty with all of the above. Create tricks for yourself to minimize those.

No, but most adults have figured out ways to cope with it and channel it in the right direction.
Your brain is wired for ADHD.
Your doc should be able to refer you to sources that can give you more info to get along with it.

ALOT OF PEOPLE GROW OUT OF IT YES OR YOU JUST SIMPLY LEARN HOW TO COPE WITH IT YOURSELF. I NOT SURE OF THE SPELLING BUT IF YOU DO NOT LIKE PERSCRIPTION TRY PIC-NOGE-A-NOL THATS THE WAY YOU SAY IT. YOU CAN FIND IT AT A WHOLE FOOD STORE. IT CAN MAKE YOU CALM AND ATTENTIVE AND IMPROVES BALANCE
