As previously stated, for a subset of people with ADHD this isn't a myth. I'm a physician. We are each welcome to our own opinions.

A few thoughts: -Congratulations on finally finding some better sleep -using Xanax as a sleep aid is a little controversial -melatonin can cause sleep problems for some people, even after initial success -presumably your sleep study showed no limb movement disorders -some ADHD patients paradoxically...

I appreciate the feedback and your logic as well. In my specific circumstance I'm in a situation where shipping costs are a substantial percentage of the overall purchase cost.

I've never shi...

Thank you for all the responses and suggestions.

Indeed I do have a U.S. address and a mail/parcel forwarding service such that the initial purchase may be sent to a U.S. address.

Greetings, Hopefully this type of question is legal in this forum. My apologies if not. I am an American living overseas and need to purchase a new machine (my first). I have a prescription but am looking to purchase a machine from the US and have it shipped as US prices are much better than what I ...
