can anger outbursts be a part of ADD?

I've suspected ADD for myself for a while now and after talking to our FP about it he said that the symptoms are similar to Hypothyroidism so he put me on a low dose of Synthroid. That didn't do anything so I asked to up the dose and now it's at .088mcg. Still no difference. I'm still insisting that it's ADD and even my sons councelor says that I definitely have it. I've been on various antidepressents since 2000 soon after both grandparents died in July and then my sister two months later unexpectedly. I'm taking Cymbalta 60 mg now. Again, I don't think it's what I need anymore, it's got to be something else. ALL of the screening questions point towards it. Dr asked how I was as a child because that's a good indicator of ADD/ADHD if one had 'symptoms' back then. How am I supposed to remember way back when? I can't even remember yesterday! I had a total meltdown last Friday night. I lost some cash and checks from Girl Scout cookie orders. I was freaking out because it was a lot of money and if I couldn't find it WE would have to fork it out. When I'm anxious like this I get really pissy, I was swearing and yelling very loudly and generally just pissed off at myself for losing it. I had some not very good thoughts about myself because I was so frustrated, mad, sad, etc at myself for forgetting all the time. Simple stuff I shouldn't forget. Stuff that JUST happened. I'm SICK OF IT. I feel so stupid sometimes. I forget simple words even when I'm talking for crying out loud! I looked everywhere for the money. My kids know to stay out of my way when I'm pissed like that. I remember thinking to myself that I need to calm down and it's stupid how I'm so mad but the anger feeling was overpowering. My husband went upstairs into our closet and found the money on the floor. I was up there only a HALF HOUR BEFORE sitting with our foster kitty who got spayed that morning. I did not remember that AT ALL until he told me where he found it. Only THEN did I remember I went into my pocket to get her medicine. I don't remember if I pulled the money out on purpose along with the medicine or if it just fell out. The rest of the night I just felt like hiding in a corner and crying because I'm so sick of not remembering stupid little things. Where I put my keys, even after JUST putting them down, Where I put this, or where I put that, or if I did this or did that, etc. and I STILL can't find my glasses! Tonight I had another anger outburst. Because I got so angry over something that wasn't done and it impeded what I had to do I go off 0-60 in a second and then my husband gets angry because I'm angry and we get in a yelling match. I know our kids hate it when we argue. We have an exchange student since August and I know he probably doesn't like it ether AND it's embarrassing to us!! I have a call in to my FP. He talked to me about Vyvanse before but decided to try Synthroid instead (or first?). I'm waiting for a call back. My kids nor husband deserve me yelling at them and my short temper and frankly, neither do I.

And just to note, my son's councelor thinks that he has ADD as well and NOT Aspergers like we thought. So I think a call in to his Pedi is in order to see what we can do to help. I bought Omega-3 and Ginko Biloba pills last night. It says it could take 6 weeks to notice anything. gah
