Adult ADD

I think this message board is the source of a lot of adult ADD--what do you think Wet Willy?

Kimmi, can you post the quiz? My son has big time ADD (thankfully no H) and I'm sure I do, too. After all, the kid had to get it from someone.

ADD people are very creative. They also start things and never finish, are easily distracted...yep, sounds like me!

It should take you right to it.

It said I should see a physician about my symptoms. Maybe when I get on insurance I will!

Yep, that is me..I have it!!!

Has any one ever taken the medication for ADHD? I have. I thought I had ADHD and took a couple Adderall. Apparently I do not have ADHD because I was bouncing off the damn walls. You would be amazed at how much you can get done on that stuff though. I was up at 2 am painting the ceiling of our living room. So, if you need to paint the entire house in two hours, take Adderall.

Oh ya... I think the Vols did better against FL than everybody thought

We used to take Aderol and Ritalin in college. We had a friend who's mom would send us a hunk of her brother's perscription. The trick is if you study with it, you have to take the test with it.

I haven't taken the adult stuff- Stratega? Spelling way off...something like that. I did have a friend who took it and it made her nasueous.

If all else fails- Stackers, Xenadrine or any good ole fashioned ephedra. If you can get your hands on it!

Too Frikkin Funny. I just idependently sent STL Don a private message today and in it I indicated that I think I am ADD/ADHD.

No doubt that I am but I am not going to take the meds. :nono1:

I can't get through a pitch letter I have been trying to write since 2:30! I have one electronic done! Good think I have till Friday! :clap_1:

Maybe I'll run down to Starbucks... But do I want to go all the way in heels or flip flops? Need to get new Reefs. Then I start shopping online. Vicious cycle...

Ok, time for the expert's opinion. I was diagnosed with ADD almost 100 years ago. By the way, you can have ADHD w/out hyperactivity. I saw a segment on the Today show today.

Ok, I have ADD. So I took that quiz and I too need to see a physician. What do you know! I have to take medicine every day or I would literally get nothing done.

Stratera- Didn't like it. You take it at night and it's supposed to gradual work. Uh uh, adderal kicks in about 30 minutes and you know it!

By the way, I am supposed to be cleaning my closet out right now but what am I doing....

Yes! That's what made me research it. Once I get on insurance I'm going to take advantage on it.

Miranda said I have anxiety problems. It's ADD. Period. End of subject.

Until then...Caffine will do. :roll:

Insurance helps alot because it is expensive. And these days, a doctor will prescribe it to any one. I think every single one of my friends in college took medication at one time or another.

We had some really intense coversations around exam time.

I have tried the drugs as well....I can't really remember, but didn't get the desired result. Darn, I was hoping I would have lots of energy, finish something and lose weight all at the same time!!! Now we know why we like this board so much!!!!

When my son was first diagnosed, they put him on Concerta but it didn't do any good. I pinched the remainder of his prescription (omigod, I've never admitted this to anyone, not even my husband!). One of the side effects is Loss of Appetite. Golden words for anyone who has to lose five pounds of winter fat!!!!!!!! Well, they worked but that stuff is awful. I was wired, and I mean wired. The five pounds came off in five minutes. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some more Concerta (got a different five pounds now), but now our son is on Adderol and he won't share. So I live with the ADD and haunt the solwal beach board!

Oh my gosh....if I get to meet any one of you I will be diagnosing you! haha

In case you didn't know, I am a licensed mental health therapist .... meaning LICENSED to diagnose these disorders. I have numerous adult clients with ADHD without hyperactivity and with.

My husband is a psychiatrist, he passes out the meds (AKA the good stuff!!) ! :clap_1:

Yep, that is me..I have it!!!

"You show symptoms that may be consistent with Adult ADHD. It may be beneficial for you to talk with your healthcare provider about an evaluation"

Uh-oh....here's my results! I'd love to stay and chat, but I need to get back to finishing up one of these three projects sitting on my desk in various stages of completion. Oh, and then there's the one that I started back in March.........now what did I do with that file?

ummm...I forgot..what were we talking about again?

I'm going to slip some in my hubbys drink!!!!!

What were we talking about

Guy I know, was a Forward Air Controller in a nasty little skirmish in SE Asia 30+ years ago - FAC then flew those little light planes around, low to the ground, calling in air support, etc. & generally keeping guys on the ground alive while dodging everything from small arms fire to munitions dropping from above. Wrote a pretty interesting (and pretty funny, actually) book. Said if it wasn't for his ADD tendencies, he wouldn't be alive today...
