I have the symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. I tend to get distracted and lose the focus. I could not stand being boring in the class even though I try to stick my ass on the chair. Of course, I took medication to control my anxieties, but I got sick from medication. It is very difficult for me to deal with my symptoms. Have you experienced with ADD/ADHD symptoms?
 
well I dont know if I have ADD but I'm going to find out pretty soon... found out few days ago. I know someone else is also expecting ADD but aint sure also.

But I do know I have BIPOLAR and is dealing with it terrible. Ugh!
 
I have mild ADD. I've tried Ritalin during my HS year and it didn't seem to work, well, maybe because I didn't take it on time daily.

Anyway, I've found a way to change myself at college, I participated in some activites and kept myself very busy. For that reason, I knew I had limited time to do school work, so I used my free time to do hw and study. My GPA improved a lot then.

I have taken tests, and been told by people that I have it. I look at the symptoms, and I have strong reasons to suspect it. I should go see a doc soon.
 
Well oddball u posted that just at the right time, i wasa abt to do something related to that, I was pre diagnosed with ADHD along with anger disorder which im taking medication for, we'll see how this works im still in my early stages of this, i have been restless and hyper all the time and this medication seemed to lower the hyper part but the anger is an emtion and is being worked on to control the anger but im like i said in the early stages of this!
Hope evberything works out for u :)
 
Whoo hoo!! I am taking 20mg Adderall XR everyday now, along with Lexapro. Addreall XR helped me focus better, but I get sad often. So, the doctor gave me Lexapro to remedy the unusual sadness.

And, yeah, those pills make you feel like shit and sleep like the dead. ;)

Wow, that's something new for me to learn about other people's "lifestyles." For me, I :dunno: since I don't suffer from that. Thanks for sharing anyway. :thumb:
 
there is several students at my school tha is ADHD / ADD and boy are they hyper.. but i dont know anythin to help you sry
 
hey folks ... I do have ADD ... but i don't take the medience ... I grew up with it which i never knew that i had one until i enter the college in Minnesota someone reconize me as ADD and i never knew what is it all about ??/ someone explained to me what is it ... and i finally understood that which i have been struggle for years years wondering why am i being so different from students because i hardly pay attn to the teacher which cause teacher so angry and blow their head off at me near everyday ..otherwise i make through the courses which freak me out... I finally asked my mom about it to see if i have ADD and she said yes i do have one .. i said to myself WTF ??? She never told me over the years until i asked her about it ... I was so pissed off about it but i already forgiven her.. she said that she doesn't want me to worry too much for nothing ...
 
I myself is still battling this and since my last posting, my mind has still wonder why poeple are still dianosed with this kind of disorder! wish poeple were reconized yrs before and maybe i myself would have had a better understanding and *attack* the issue at an earlier stance!
