 I am not sure in your particular case but the doctor that took my grand
 daughter history asked if anyone had unusual reactions to medicine. When
 my daughter told him about my reactions, and about some of her brothers and 
 sisters who have the same reactions, he said that sounded like a symptom
 of ADD and/or ADHD.

... Please and Thanks are words to love by.
