I have ADHD and I have had it all of my life. It is a bugger to live with.

As I have tried to find the perfect remedy for it I have researched the disease.
Through my research I have found that scientists suspect a lack of dopamine as being the cause of the disease.

A lack of dopamine is also the causative factor in Parkinson’s disease. Well, if that is the case my thoughts were why not use the medications for Parkinson’s disease to treat ADHD?

I did some research this morning to see if anyone else had thought up this genius idea. Yep, they had.

Turns out that L-Dopa is not really effective in treating ADHD but there is a medication called Desipramine which has been effective in treating children.

This is not a stimulant medication so the person who takes this may be a bit more lethargic than usual. Oh yippy, just what I need. NOT!

That would be a lot better though than the reaction I had to a generic form of Adderall. I was so jacked up that I was shaking and I was clenching my teeth so hard that I was scared they would fall out. Needless to say I stopped taking it before my teeth fell out.

If you have ADHD let me know what you have found to treat this silly problem.
