Zoloft and ADHD | ADHD Information

I'm probably ADD, i'm not on medicine now, sometimes i wish i was, i have severe mood swings when PMS hits. But when i was younger i never finished anything i started, i never sat still in school, come to think of it i never really focused on school either. I got by with average grades. I also feel overwhelmed, and anixous sometimes, i hate meeting people at parties i don't know, makes me feel stupid. i don't want to be on medication, i just deal with it. Good Luck to you.....

I take Zoloft along with Wellbutrin for depression. While the combination has helped me drastically with my depression, it didn't do squat for me for the ADD.

I have read that some SSRI's (like Zoloft) have been used for ADD.

Hi all, I'm new here

Been on Zoloft for 2 months, mainly for feeling overwhelmed and lack of focus.

Been wondering for years if I am slightly ADHD. I have NEVER been able to complete tasks or focus 100% on anything in my life. With Zoloft, my life has changed drastically. I do everything 100%, make to-do lists daily, and am pursuing goals I've put aside for years.

Just wondering if anyone else is like me -- thinking they are ADHD, haven't been diagnosed as such, but lives have changed (more focus) on Zoloft.

I am a SAHM with twin toddlers, fyi.

A depression disorder can also look like ADHD. Zoloft is a medication for depression and its is only given to those who have ADHD when the person suffers from depression as a result of havig ADHD. Depression can cause a lack of focus, concentration and a lack of motivtion. Some symptoms of ADHD can look very much like other disorders but if you really have a concern about it, consult with a clinician trained in the field of diagnosing these disorders as they have the experise to make the distinction. Good luck with the zoloft and I'm glad its working for you
