Dear Jochem, Thank you for your beautiful website and weekly updates! What I like about your website is that you give an inside view, and come up with real solutions and alternatives. I happened to have tried the binaural beats myself but they made me a bit weird in my head. I do like the LT03, and the book on social confidence I definitely want to read! I'm ADD and HSP myself, and I struggle quite a bit with stimuli, structure (household!!!) etc. What I find bizarre -and nice to read back on your website from my own experience and that of others- is the straightforwardness of the mental health services. Like you, I went to PSY-Q and the psychiatrist wanted to know nothing but nothing about LT03. She didn't even let me elaborate on what it is but interrupted me right away and said she doesn't/cannot do anything with it. The side effects of ritalin/ concerta that I was taking before had to be dealt with by a higher dose of antidepressants. While I had just about phased these out. Then I just stopped completely. Even with the phasing out process of antidepressants, I simply run into the limited 'mind' of the mental health services; if it is no longer in your blood, you can no longer suffer withdrawal symptoms, according to them. I personally think that after long-term use, your nervous system should also recover for a long time. But it is quickly concluded that your symptoms are back and you need to go back to pills. I know a retired psychiatrist who says that psychiatrists of today have become glorified pill farmers. Actually, it is very strange that you receive 10 times more support on the internet on forums and on your website than from your psychiatrist who doesn't listen to you, think with you and take you seriously, but you...

Dear Jochem,
Thank you for your beautiful website and weekly updates!
What I like about your website is that you give an inside view, and come up with real solutions and alternatives.
I happened to have tried the binaural beats myself but it made me a bit weird in my head. I do like the LT03, and I definitely want to read the book on social self-confidence!
Being ADD and HSP myself, I struggle quite a bit with stimuli, structure (household!!) etc.

I personally think that after long-term use, your nervous system also needs to recover for a long time. But it is quickly concluded that your symptoms are back and you need to go back to pills. I know a retired psychiatrist who says that psychiatrists of today have become glorified pill farmers.
Actually, it is very strange that you receive 10 times more support on the internet on forums and on your website than from your psychiatrist who does not listen to you, think with you and take you seriously, but instead tells you that what you feel is not real but placebo effect or that you need to take more or extra medication if you have side effects.
Just had to put that out there and wanted to thank you for your tips.

Hi, I saw your website today and it looks so good. I myself I am not sure if I have add, I know that as a child I had my own "world" and difficulty concentrating.Now I am 46 years old and still I am struggling to have a normal life, what I mind is that I am always tired and easily irritated. When I go to my GP, he will definitely go on antidepressants but it drives me crazy. Is add also lack of serotonin? Because I just don't know what to take...and I'm afraid of side effects. I am sensitive to medications, I was once given seroxat and I had to stop right away because my eyes broke and it all just made me weird. Thanks, ANa

For 2 years now I have known the name of the little beast that has been disfiguring my life for 52 years: ADD. And who knows what secondary disorders have developed that make me even more different from other people than I want to be. People whose development did progress steadily, and who did not suddenly lose all connection in grade 3 grammar school. People who did achieve meaningful careers and happy families. No, then me: kicked out of all further education or fled from it, since then purely physical shitty jobs or hanging out in Steun, druks, gigantic bomb-craters in Relationship-land, been homeless, Pliesie, debt relief...in short: The Works! Taken an ADD course at the mental health centre, Mindfulness idemito, very-interesting-and-recognisable-and-so, but all in all little has actually stuck. The anti-depressant Wellbutrin (a dopamine preparation) is a real life-saver for me. I don't notice anything, only at a "moment le plus profond", I can reverse an aggressive self-destructive depression á la minute. Just pull the emergency brake, and hoppa: the dark clouds drift away. Great! Quitting is unthinkable; within six weeks all the fuses are guaranteed to blow. Because of the incurability of ADD and the "been there, done that" idea, I no longer seek help from the mental health services. I have also grown tired of the spiritual world, Zen meditation seems to make a small difference in terms of peace of mind and ability to put things into perspective. To be honest, I am not charmed by the Yankee-style hurrah talk of this site, yet I am grateful for your initiative. Because I am a bit fed up with it all, by now. Grtz, Guus.

Thank you for this site! It is definitely not easy, as an ADD person, to find your way in society where everything is fast-paced and has to be done. I often feel a bit lost while ADDs can make an important contribution, precisely because of all those talents. I will definitely try out all your tips / sharpen them for myself to eventually go through life without medication. One thing I have learned over the years is to do the things you are good at and not to put all your energy into things that cause tension at the mere thought of them (provided they are necessary). Anyways, thanks again and keep up the good work. I think you are doing a lot of 'peers' a huge favour. Gr, Werner.

Hi Jochem, And there I am at a campsite on the Loire. The day of my return home after a week of long-distance motorcycle riding. A solo trip to get away from all the hassles of my daily life. About eight months ago (at the age of 38), I was diagnosed with ADD after entering addiction treatment to finally face my cannabis addiction. What a moment of tremendous recognition it was when I first read the lists of symptoms. Finally an explanation for so many troublesome things in my life! I kicked off, relapsed, and, despite and thanks to all the help I am already getting, I am trying to cope with it again. So far, it's still a struggle, life. I'm learning to live. How crazy really that I am only now discovering your website. Too much to read right now. I have to pack up and go...but I have already read some tips that I think are definitely worth trying out. Thank you for this source of inspiration!

Dear Jochem, After about a month I now have ff time to respond, of course I also wanted to wait for the result of LTO3. My daughter is 13 years old and has tried several ADHD pills, from ritalin to concerta with all the side effects from lying awake every night to migraines and every morning it was a disaster to convince her to take those pills. I was distraught for years and held my heart every day. My daughter was very agitated, you only had to say one little thing or she would go completely through the roof. At school, her school results were reasonable, but her behaviour terrible. Since a month she has been using LTO3. It had been less than seven days and her friends were already noticing the difference. She was calmer than usual. I observed her closely of course, she has not had any anger attacks since taking LTO3. She no longer reacts so extremely to expressions of others. Children who absolutely disliked her have approached her. She takes her pills herself and without disgust. I can now get angry with her without her smashing doors and knocking everything down. In short, my daughter has changed so much, I can hardly believe it. I have an appointment with her psychiatrist on 3 April and will discuss ut things there. I will also do my best to get the pills reimbursed, because I have extra insurance for the concerta. I will recommend LTO3 to anyone with ADHD. Kind regards. Naomie
Dear Jochem,

Hello Jochem, Thank you for your nice site and tips, I have already gained a lot from it and because my circle of friends also consists of a large number of AD(H)Ders. (We always say it's a case of 'species looking for species') a lot of my friends have already registered with your site. Several of us are also trying out what LTO3 does to us. I would like to let you know that the LTO3 is still having a positive effect on me (I've been taking it for a month now) and the restlessness I still had in my body is a lot less now. Despite the fact that my existing medication worked well, I now have the feeling that I can concentrate and plan well with LTO3 and I have more of a feeling of being myself. I have since ordered the book 'Living with ADD' by Sterre Hunvie and read it in 2 days. What a great book it is. Highly recommended! So wonderfully clear and invitingly written and sooooo recognisable. It is also nice that the book is written from a family situation in which not everyone has ADD. There are not many books about ADD in adults. Often it is just a chapter in a book about ADHD, and even in my opinion, there are real differences between ADD and ADHD. The only thing I don't recognise myself and my son in is the fact that she describes ADD ers as often quiet and withdrawn, like to be alone. Both of us are not hyper, but we are creative/active and always like to be around people. everything else in the book is very recognisable and inspiring. Highly recommended, an easy read and also useful for partners without ADD. Regards Manou Bach
Hello Jochem,
Thanks for your nice site and tips, I have already benefited a lot and because my circle of friends also consists of a large number of AD(H)D ers . (We always say "type looking for type") many of my friends have already signed up to your site.
Also, several of us are now trying out what LTO3 does to us at the same time.
I just wanted to let you know that the LTO3 is still having a positive effect on me (I have been using it for a month now) and the restlessness I still had in my body is a lot less now.
Even though my existing medication was working well, now with LTO 3 I feel that I can still concentrate and plan well and feel more like I am really enjoying myself.
I have since ordered the book 'Living with ADD' by Sterre Hunvie and read it in 2 days.
What a great book it is.
Highly recommended!
So deliciously clear and invitingly written and soooooo recognisable all of it.
It is also nice that the book is written from a family situation where not everyone has ADD.
There are not many books on ADD in adults.
often it's just a chapter in a book on ADHD, and even in my view there are really substantial differences in ADD and ADHD.
The only thing I do not recognise myself or my son in is the fact that she describes ADD ers as often quiet and withdrawn, like to be alone.
Neither of us are hyper, but we are creative/active and always enjoy being around people.
everything else in the book is very relatable and inspiring.
Highly recommended that reads easily and also useful for the partner without ADD.

Hello Jochem, I am Renata and am 37 years old, married to Patrick and mother of a daughter, Melissa, 11 years old. I only discovered since last year that I have ADHD, and that I have a lot of trouble with it. In retrospect from the questionnaires and conversations with the psychiatrist, I appear to have suffered from ADHD since my childhood/adolescence. On Facebook I saw your ADD/ADHD site, and my husband often said to me, join an ADHD site to talk about ADHD with fellow sufferers. And now I have taken the step. I am happy with this site, and will definitely make use of it. Thanks Jochem for the invitation. Greetings, Renata

Hello Jochem, First of all my compliments for this super site! I'm Maureen and about two and a half years ago I found out that I have adhd, which was a great relief to me at the time, I was in the middle of a nasty divorce, temporarily moved in with my parents with my 10-year-old daughter, which took a lot of getting used to, almost three quarters of a year later I moved into my own house and thought I would finally get some peace and quiet...unfortunately nothing could be further from the truth, two jobs, housework, raising my child, appointments with a psychiatrist, adhd coach at the hospital, adhd coach at home....... i felt more and more miserable and lifeless and my head was completely full and i couldn't think normally anymore.....chaoch,and i kept going because i had to make a living until i couldn't take it anymore and had a burn out! Every day is another battle with myself to do things differently. i still haven't found the right method, but we keep going, although sometimes i get so discouraged and wish i had never known. i never thought it would have such an impact on my life and i feel so insecure and angry!but I have read your story and you have also struggled with it for years and I am happy for you that you have found the right way and I hope that I will be able to do the same. I could go on writing but I won't because otherwise it will become a mess and... Read more

I felt increasingly miserable and lifeless and my head was completely full and I couldn't think normally anymore.....chaoch,and I kept going because I had to earn a living until I couldn't take it any more and had a burn out!
now 8 months later and still partly in the sickness law my other job i have since lost because i was sick for too long (which i understand) and did not yet have a permanent contract. my other job there i have been working for 12 years so i am that lucky.
Every day is another battle with myself to approach/do things differently. I still haven't found the right method, but we keep going, although sometimes it makes me so despondent and I wish I had never known. I never thought it would have such an impact on my life and I feel incredibly insecure and angry!
I could go on writing but I won't because otherwise it will become a mess and I'll keep repeating myself whaha!
good luck with this site and super that there is such good information on it,

Hi, I am a 15-year-old girl with ADD. I was diagnosed 4 years ago and my mother wanted to inform me about it several times but I never wanted to know about it. Always felt and feel "different" from my peers. Have already worn out about 6 high schools, and always felt abnormal. Got very frustrated because I did want to do well at school and at home. Today I came across your site by chance and saw the characteristics of ADD. It made me very emotional, as if the last few years of misunderstanding were finally falling into place. Feel a lot less alone now. Finally understand myself, as if I could finally look in the mirror after 15 years. Thank you for this and for the tips on your site! Don't know whether you read this or find it interesting. But really had to send it anyway. Consider it good feedback. Top site!!! Thank you. Gr floor
