Many congratulations on your diagnosis.  I was first diagnosed about
10 years ago.  

I strongly, STRONGLY recommend that you combine medication with
behavioural mod therapy.  Due to a lack of funding, I was unable to
continue by behaviour mod, and it's been kinda tough ever since.

We've seen the symptoms in my daughter; luckily, she's only twelve,
and meds combined with my insight in helping her cope are doing
wonders.

(BTW, I had the added problem of bipolar mixed with the ADD.
Wheeeeeee!)
