ADD, Adderall? | ADHD Information

hey,

Im a 16 yaer old high school student and ive been dealing with and hiding a lot of sh*t in my life for as long as i can remember. Ive had a couple anxiety attacks, deperession periods, and such but i hid them from everyone. I zone out constantly when people are talking to me but im a pretty social person and im an athlete, and im smart too so nobody really noticed it. I started smoking weed lastt year and i smoked ridiculous amounts, but i started getting anxioius and i started to show ADD symptoms exteremly bad when high, 9Zoned out so much i couldnt even speak) so after a while i just smoke now once a month or so......

I had a panic attack about 2 months ago and i said that im sick of this sh*t so i went to a doctor and asked him to help calm me down. i got over it and iwas fine and being a calm person normally i hid all the anxiety and ignored it until it went away, not showing or talking about it with anyone.

I took 10 mg of adderall the other day and it worked great, but i didnt eat at all and i felt a little sick, and at night i was cracked out as hell. but it stimulated me i didnt zone out like normal and i was able to focus with my sh*t, no anxiety i did great in class great with my friends and good at my game. I had a little bit of mood swings but thats a small price to pay for feeling good all day long and feeling lik ei can do anything.

I dont want to be chemically dependent with somthing that can kill you, but what do you guys all think? should i go to a shrink and figure out if i really have this or if i just dont give a sh*t about some people and just dont give a sh*t all around?

Are there any natrual supplements that truly work? I am willing to try because i think my case of ADD isnt very huge and somthing small will work good., maybe a smaller dose of adderall....time release? i didnt have sleeping problems with the 10 mg but i dont nkow.......i defeintly need somthing. Maybe cafferine and some vitamis? what do you guys think?????

advice?I agree, see a doctor, talk to a consellor and whatever you do don't take someone shrugging you off....it'll probably happen a few times...

If someone is clearly trying to avoid dealing with you or helping you out, see someone else or push further..... don't push for an ADD diagnosis but push them to make sure they at least attempt to help you and help you get things right.

Don't get shrugged off and it doesn't hurt to get help.... I used to be alot like that in grade 10 but eventually I just didn't care, I used the ADD to help me make jokes and have fun..... unfortunately my grades sat at like a 50% 'cuz I hated homework but M'eh?

Talk to someone.
Advice: go see a doctor...psychologist or psychiatrist. You note that you've experienced bouts of depression and anxiety; it could be that these are causing you to exhibit AD/HD symptoms. Often people think they may be AD/HD, but it's truly something else; anxiety and depression are some of the most common things that mimic AD/HD. Good luck!make jokes and have fun? do you think im good at making jokes cause of my ADD?hmmmmmm??

You don't seem very funny to me so far!

Tell us a joke.

sure, it's 3rd grade toilet humor but they make me laugh soooo hard!

Q: What do you call a turd in a court room?
A: Jury dooooodie.



eep93,
back in the day when I enjoyed partaking in a little herb activity, I found that it made my mind race even more chaotic, it didn't really calm me down mentally...just physically.

Stay off the weed and get on some meds with the help of a psychiatrist. Adderall won't kill you and it's addictive but not in a bad way. My psychiatrist described Adderall the best, "think of it as eye glasses for your ADD. those who have glasses will wear them the rest of there life...same with this medicine, you will be on it the rest of your life." Even if you do get addicted you will never notice because you won't stop taking it.
