[QUOTE=Markie Mark]I have found that taking two gelcaps of fish oil per day has helpled even out my life. I am on Dexidrine did not get treatment till I was 38. So I know what it is like being treated later in life.

Hi! I never noticed that I had a problem when I was young, but at around age 40, I was really noticing problems focusing, staying on track, not beaming out while driving and being excessivly sleepy. After many tests including a sleep thingy overnite in the hosptial, nothing really showed up in tests that was alarming. My doc put me on ritalin to see if it would help and it helped tremendously. However, I had to keep upping the dose and would forget to take the afternoon dose and be up the creek for the nights I worked. Then I switched to Adderal for the longer lasting effect but it did not seem to work any better than the Ritalin. I am now taking Dexidrine which definately has helped but I am still fighting with an excessive sleepiness problem. I have recently added Provigil to the Dexidrine which is a drug for Narcolepsy but it does not seem to be helping. Does anyone else have an extreme desire to sleep while taking any of these meds to help focus?
