Working with ADHD?

just reading through (not even 1/3) of the replies this has spawned.... I had to take an extra adderall myself !!!!!!
ALL PEOPLE are NoT THE SAME == end of line.
I've personally been diagnosed with ADHD ( actually prior to anything being offered as a option for treatment ) and that fact alone lead me from 1st grade (keep in mind this was hidden from me by my own parents) to non-college-grad.... and nothing really accomplished -- just dead end jobs; mainly due to lack of commitment ( but also lack of employment oppurtunities in a tourist town.. where most jobs are airbrushing t-shirts, selling bongs @ the smoke shop, etc, etc ).
When I was actually able to seek help outside of parental guidance (e.g. > 18yrs of age)... Doctors treated me as depressed.... and therefore I was given an endless amount of SSRI's / TCA's and the wide varieties of Benzodiazapines to complement the prior....
All of those -----> greater depression because this of course was not the true root of the problem.....
Furthermore; all this lead to other "self medicating techniques" which was making everything entirely worse (although my social life was at a peak)... and further depression followed.....
One Day (not until the age of 23 though)... I was lucky enough to have changed to another family physician... and after long drawn out conversations... (not many Doctors will do this at all -- most end up with the 1.2.3 Nurse.. Dr. grabs at "areas"... Nurse walks back in with a Script)... but this guy actually listened to me... Not neccessarily about my problems or my "whining"... but ME..... and decided... I wasn't really depressed afterall.....
He luckily decided to go - "left field" and try a "Ritilan" approach.... this actually worked (kinda)..... I won't go into the Ritilan Rollercoaster ride but..... anyways; since this threads probably grown about 2 more pages since I first started typing (3 min ago)..... I finally had the privalage of trying an "Adderall" approach.
Guess what; no more "depression" (ADD)... i've actually persued my original goals in software development... and learned that the self-medicating techniques were actually worsening the problem (although; this was subconciously known -- I did it anyway -- didn't care).... and my life is finally starting to get on track....
The only downside to any of it... Is I found out the people I once called friends were never "friends" in the first place.... but that's to common in the "drug culture" to even worry about... and I'm thinking that it has more to do with -- I don't wanna sit around all day, do nothing, and go nowhere !!....
That's me though..... hence; Not all people are the same...... end of line!
btw... this preview button shows no tab indentions... and this wasn't made to look like one run-on sentence.... which means I'm probably going to get flamed for having a "run-on thought".... which is comparable to my condition... oh well; have fun with it!!!!
