ADHD and FOOD
They're all things that are addictive stimulants, and even people who are not ADD/ADHD are better off without. You say you "have felt a lot better," has your focus been better, too?
Let us know how you're doing after meds. Remember, if meds don't work, keep working with your dr until you find something that works for you.
Keep up the good work!
I'm 21 and have ADD (predominately inattentive, not hyperactive). I'm starting on meds in a few weeks time and my mum read that the food you eat can help ADD. I have to admit I was sceptical as hell!
But anyway, 2 weeks later and I have quit smoking, and had not eaten cola, chocolate, sweets or anything with heaps of preservatives since then.
Today I had chocolate in the morning, and I was cranky as hell- really noticed the difference to the point where mum asked if I'd had any chocolate. Then I had a diet coke this afternoon and felt completely scattered... I can't believe I'm going to have to give up my vices!
That said, I have felt a lot better (asides from a little crabby from non smoking!) and have been excersising more.
Anyone got any opinions/similar stories?
