Post Addiction "Gambling" and add

I am a 29 year old, who in the last three months was diagnosed with ADD. I had battled the last five years or so with a horrible gambling addiction. I ended up spending a year in federal prison camp for bank fraud not knowing that I was really dealing with an add problem. I am absolutely amazed with what concerta has done for me. My ex-girlfriend is also add and she has been taking ritalin, I took some of her medicine one day and practically freaked out with a very small dosage. She has since switched to Concerta also and Is very happy with the happy medium it provides, "vs the up and down stage of ritilan" Any way back to me! I hope people realize that children can be extremely successfull in school with grades as well as sports and still be completely add. I hope anyone who is dealing with a child realizes the importance of staying on top of this medical need. If anyone wants to ask me any questions regarding the addiction and add phase of problems feel free to email me or respond and I would be glad to share what I have found.

Did I say something wrong in my previous posting. I hope I didn't scare anyone. I just wanted to provide information on what could happen when add isn't diagnosed and treated.

Someone please respond with something, 200 people have read this and no one has anything to say about it.
