I'll be visiting my doctor soon for an annual physical and want to talk to him about drugs for ADD. After dealing with my daughter's ADHD diagnosis I finally realize that many of my learning / focusing traits appear to be due to ADD.
What issues should I consider with respect to ADD meds and diving? Straterra would probably be the first drug to try but I want to be prepared to discuss the potential diving effects of drugs with the doc.
Thanks.

A very uncommon (and possibly unrelated) symptom is suicidal ideation (suicidal thoughts). The incidence of this was less than 1% and was found with kids. As with any other medication make sure to try it for quite some time before you go diving. A.K.A don't get the perscription on monday and start diving that week. Give it some time so you can figure out how your body reacts to it. This is in no way official medical advice as only your doctor knows your medical history best. Just explain to your doctor your extreme love for diving and he will pick the best medication for you.
