If a lack of dopamine is the cause/reason for ADHD/ADD, then why r we not given dopamine?
Why drugs that dont work. Try to tell a dr u need a refill on your medication & be told adults dont have ADD! And this was a dr who practices ADHD. Life has been terribly hard for my daughter & myself. Just trying to get thru 13 yrs of schooling that everyone understands but me, was horribly embarrassing. Also having a parent who tells u u will be digging ditches the rest of your life because school & making friends were just not who i am. Also being adopted @ 7 by a mentally ill woman who did some very bad damage is also hard to separate the constant abuse from ADD. I say ADD because i came up w/the $5K to get tested.I Wanted to know if the constant abuse had done brain damage or was life under an army captain,, bipolar pediatric RN who didnt want the 3 siblings that came w/our youngest sister. Yes she agreed to taking the 4 of us & proceeded to knock the daylight out of us. Its a wonder she didnt kill us. Im the only one out of 8 sibling who doesnt drink nor ever smoked. Im still here trying to live w/ADHD. I have messes where ever i go n this house. Anyone can tell where i sit during the day & where i sleep. I dont have a community of help nor friends. Ive been to hell & back & cannot control all the info i give out. But because i give out my life im very particular w/ppl who lie! I had no idea that ppl w/ADHD talked too much, shared too much. Its taken me 50yrs to b able to speak to groups of ppl. Now i cant stop talking. I grew up hearing children r to b seen & not heard. I was also told by the father figure “frankly lucy no one wanted u, u r too old, ppl want babies”. whats a brain dead 6 yr old supposed to do w/that kind of info. I prayed every night that God would rescue us from the big bad Army Captain. Luckily age 18 comes n the winter for me so i left just a cpl days from graduating & took the sister whom was trying to call the police while it was being yanked out of the wall & thrown across the room. Much better leaving w/nothing than spending another night w/the 2 of them. Dopamine,
Epinephrine what r we waiting for if science already knows? Oh & i have Alzheimers to look forward to. My bio dad APOE4/4. I already know my adult children have my 4. C what i mean? Over sharing!

This is informative, however I think you should replace the word “normal” with “neuro-typical” if you want to present yourself as a reputable source of information.

The information provided was informative and clearly understandable. I am fifty-three years old I have lived with ADHD undiagnosed. My life has been a nightmare. I am hoping to find the tookz needed to take control of my life now that I know what the problem is.
