I miss appointments, leave things behind, lose track of my thoughts, have trouble finding the word I need quickly, have trouble with attention to detail, flit from one activity to the next before finishing the first, drift though unplanned time aimlessly, etc. The AD's help me to be less upset by all of this , but don't really do anything for the ADHD symptoms.
I hope this helps. Maybe Cam knows something about this subject. If I've already posted about this a while back, please forgive me, as my memory sucks! ;^) Renee N
