i've often wondered about the increasing amount of cases of add and adhd, and if they are related to any upcoming changes in a beneficial way? i have a nasty case adhd and i take adderal cr every morning. without the medication, it's very hard to focus on anything, except the things i thoroughly enjoy doing, such as playing sports, guitar, doing crossword puzzles or even reading the sports page in the newspaper.

add & adhd, to me, are beneficial to those who can intently focus on specific projects, while providing the instant release of "remembering" the trivial things in one's day. i've meditated without medication and have not seen a significant difference in the amount of focus or the feeling i receive during and after meditation. while taking adderal cr, i find it sometimes takes a little bit longer to clear my mind before i meditate because i can accurately remember the day's events, as opposed to being able to focus more easily when not taking adderal before i meditate.

what are your thoughts on add/adhd?
