I'm 73 and all I've read says I have ADD. My attention span is real short & it's always held me back. Some of the medications they give ADD kids have serious side effects later on. I'm not concerned about that. What are the medications or natural herbs that are working for the different symptoms? I will be going to a professional next week but I want to know what I can do without going through a long expensive diagnosis that will just tell me what I alread know from having read a lot on the subject and gone to  conferences on ADD/ADHD. The book "The Edison Gene" by Thom Hartman opened my eyes and also "You mean I'm not lazy, stupid or crazy?!" is great. I'm a successful consultant but at my age I want to get rid of what's been holding me back quickly now because nothing has worked to give me enough focus  in my thinking patterns. God bless you if you come up with a herb milkshake or medication that helps me to deal with the negatives and utilize the positives of this ADD syndrome that has been holding me back since I was a kid. So I can help my "Edison Gene" kids and grandchildren.
