What dose of Effexor and Lamictal are you currently taking?
Have you tried any of the medications specifically for ADD (Adderall, Ritalin, Straterra, Dexedrine, Vyvanse)?> Hi everybody....

I've got just as much potential as anyone but I always seem to be operating at 50% or in other words "Half-Assing" it. It's like I can't help it, I'm not lazy, I just can't seem to beat this huge issue. Basically with any situation that presents itself to me my first reaction (almost unconciously) is to think of the negatives, roadblocks, etc.)

And, if they call with questions or concerns regarding their purchase I usually send them to voicemail and procrastinate the call-back because I don't want to deal with the confrontation. It ultimately has resulted in complaints to my manager about me not calling people back!
