There has to be some kind of constant background noise in order to for me to focus best. TV, music, fans, anything that covers up any extraneous noises is what I need to work well. Silence gets me a bit anxious even, and I cannot help but be hyper-aware of every rustle, shuffle, cough, and all that. My inability to relax in silence is a problem sometimes, so I always just studied at home in the living r...

Have you tried Strattera? It is a non-stimulant and keeps you focused throughout the day. I am on Strattera and it helps me focus pretty much all day. I have not tried adderall, but have heard that it is speed, just like Ritalin. These stimulants that doctor's prescribed for individuals with ADD/ADHD are supposed calm them down not speed them up. I believe that is what is going on with you FixedOnFocus. I agree to telling your docto...

I am supposed to be taking somewhere in the neigborhood of 20 meds and many of them are either two or three at a time. I get to the point where I get sick of all of it and won't take anything but my Adderal and Norco. I have many physical conditions along with my mental health disorders.

I am beyond the point where any of this upsets me. I rely heavily on my meds. For myself, I was relieved to be able to put a name to what was wrong with me. My problem with the meds is that they do not absorb properly due to having gastric bypass surgery 4 years ago and I don't get the full effects of the medication. I do occasionally take more than I am supposed to But often a without meds for a couple of days at the end of the mo...

He is in his early 50s. I'm not sure where to start, I was actually thinking he may be bipolar, but while I was researching I ran across some stuff about ADHD, and it also fits a lot of his symptoms. I still wonder about the bipolar, because he does seem to cycle. He always has problems in the spring, gets angry or hyper, and then self-medicates with booze. Lots of booze, and then he does act crazy and is verbally abusive. It is a true pattern with hi...

I have some other health conditions, and am not totally convinced that I have ADD---symptoms could be caused by hypopituitarism. I also have had chronic pain for over 13 years and was told by a psychiatrist that they sometimes use ADD medications to counteract the effects of opiod medications. When I was first put on vyvanse---I did fantastic. I was getting all kinds of things done. I was on 70 mgs. Several years ago, I tried to take an anti-depressant th...

Recently I had to see him for severe bipolar depression and he put me on seroquel, which is working well (I only wish they made a “non-drowsy” version, if that is even possible). He wants to put me on wellbutrin primarily for my ADHD and also because it just happens to be an antidepressant and is least likely to trigger a manic episode. I cannot tolerate CNS' like ritalin without raising my blood press...
