Do you have ADD/ADHD?
    #7530621 - 10/18/07 09:46 AM (16 years, 5 months ago)

Who did you see to get diagnosed/prescribed?

Do you generally see a general practitioner?

Or a psychologist?

A psychologist cannot prescribe medicine, so you wouldn't go there.

hehe, I think I have it to some degree.

My girlfriend holds the sides of my head, looks into my eyes and talks loudly when she needs me to listen. One of my friends has taken to getting me to repeat what he said to me quite a bit.

I'm really obsessive about one thing for a short time before moving on to something entirely new- its like an extremely narrow but intense focus of attention.

I thought about going to get diagnosed but thought fuck it, no point.

If I had to choose, I would choose to have it, I just feel really focused all the time. Fuck being organised and shit lol

Yeah, I have absolutely no organization.

At all.

You should see my office/car/house.

My g/f jokes that I have made the worlds first successful "dirty bombs", and then set several of them off around my house.

Maybe I do, I have no idea. It is such an ambiguous disorder diagnosis tends to be highly subjective.

In all actuality I probably have no ADD but like many people amphetamines help focus just the same.

I've had medications prescribed to me for it before. I saw my primary care physician about it. He was very nice and allowed me to upgrade from Adderall to Dexedrine spansules after one month. I'm certain he would have given me Desoxyn had I just spoke with him about it but I was perfectly happy getting a nominal quantity of dextroamphetamine every month.

I haven't bothered to pick up prescriptions for anything like that in some time.
Most doctors do seem surprisingly relaxed about ADD medications despite their obvious scheduling.

I bullshitted my way to a prescription back in higschool, it was my family doctor.

Now I just get pills off others, perhaps I should go back and get some more though.

i thought i had ADD... but it was actually sleep deprivation.

many symptoms of sleep deprivation are the same as ADD, especially not being able to focus.

you should probably see if your job will allow you to have later hours that fit your natural rhythm.

but chances are you probably just want amphetamines.

It doesnt exist. If anyone is diagnosed with it and is currently on medication, you've been had. ADD/ADHD is no more than you having too much energy. How do you counter it? Eat healthier and excercise more.

i think everyone has it because of the way children have been raised the past 20-30 years...

Ive been diagnosed.  i went to my normal family doctor and she sent me to a place a town over to get the actual test done.  they just mailed her the results and when the came back and i had failed bad she prescribed me to adderall right away...


i don't really take it much though...just on big days of homework or tests...otherwise fuck it, id rather just smoke all day :gethigh:

now here you get into a tricky subject. what is bi polar disorder but people who just can "chill out"
peoples brains are all beautifuly unique mandalas of coliding energys. alot of people have problems with energy. there is no dividing line for diagnosis, this is why sooooo many people in the 90's through today where cought up in the add pendemic
"oh my kid does not like math, he must have some sort of brain inbalence, please help us doc"

yeah im with you on that, ALOT of people did not need to be medicated for there add. but I myself, and other people i have grown up with had it, and bad. i used to bang my head into shit just for the clonking sound it would make, flial around in bed till 4 in the morning screaming jibberish. i would not just not oppay attention in ckass, i would walk th fuck out. just get up and leave. no big deal for me but aperently thats not what they wanted out of me.


now i am als no saying i needed to be medicated. it pretty much scard my life for 3 years. but i cant blame my doctor, my parents or myself. it just happened the way it did.

and now im me again. fun loving fast running pillow :laugh:

I have bipolar disorder which contains all the symptoms of ADHD. Whether you believe ADHD is a real symptom or not, if you put brain under a cat-scan it would look different than person who doesn't have it. The weak connection between the serotonin and their receptors in my brain which somehow makes me have ADHD related symptoms. Adderall definitely works for me. I seriously can't study or do work without it. I stopped taking it for three years and I didn't have near the level of productivity that I have when taking it.

Why don't you do a little reading on the subject before you just write off what you don't even care to understand.

Thanks!
