Does anyone else have adult ADD/ADHD

[Paradise50]

Psychiatrist
Had it since 9th grade didn’t get diagnosed until I was 19

I was 25


honestly I'm glad I went to the Dr about it because the issues related to it reared its ugly head when I hit junior level courses in college when I was 21-22.


I've benefitted greatly from getting that sorted out. I take 30mg XR daily with an as needed 20mg IR in the later afternoon.

I also closely monitor my health in general so I make sure my blood pressure and heart rate isn't effected.

I was taking 27mg of Concerta for a while (about a month) and figured I can't take it any longer. Stopped taking it for a month+ and endured some mild symptoms. I think I'd rather take it the way my psychiatrist recommended as opposed to my doctor; 2 maybe 3 a week as opposed to daily.

Daily is too much, the side effects are too shytty for me

Honestly I was diagnosed with it earlier this year

I used to flip the fukk out before I got on adderall. ADHD trash for dating and it can make you come off as annoying

I had all the signs growing up but I got by with just being super smart and I loved school anyway

brehs who've been diagnosed...did you see a psychiatrist or did your PCP diagnose you?

I seen a psychiatrist and I had to run tests

my college basically diagnosed me

Right now I'm watching "Man vs Wild" and browsing the Coli at the same time

You should get it checked out.

I’m in the U.K. cut a long story short got referred, said I didn’t have it...
So I’m like nah I gotta have it, it all makes sense to me I need a second opinion...Managed to get put through to the psychiatrist but waiting list super long. They saying i may not be seen this year.

So ended up getting diagnosed privately earlier this week...

My main issues have been procrastination and lack of focus for years...To the point where I’m like nah this ain’t laziness because I know wf needs to be done but i physically can’t.

Prescribed Vyvanse I hope this shyt help, it was fukking expensive.

I’ve not even took it yet and I feel like a fraud I don’t like the idea that a pill could be the key to unlocking my potential and making regular day to day shyt easier to get done

in regards to the phone cut down on the social media distractions, I’ve deactivated some of my social platforms for one.

Day 1 - Vyvanese

I definitely felt when it started working my fingers were tingling lmao.
Feel more awake - Am I more motivated and focused? I dunno.

I did clear out some paperwork from my bag thats been sitting there since last year.

Got some other stuff to focus on that I've been trying to get done for weeks, so see If I can get that done today.

Defo still procrastinating but I know no drug is gonna stop me from doing that, you still need discipline to get shyt done.

Brain feels quieter though I must admit.

never been officially diagnosed...parents wouldn’t let me get tested...this is dating back to the 80s...working as a teacher and being privy to students who had it and what signs to potentially look for I’m certain I’ve always had it

You literally just talked about physically being incapable of maintaining concentration. That's embarrassing.

Meanwhile I'm off studying computer science and having no problem concentrating

lol...I’m retired at 45...you talking about “studying”

be a good little boy and go finish your “studying”

btw I literally never said anything about “physically being incapable of maintaining concentration”

seems like comprehension is an issue for you too

ADD/ADHD has different signs/symptoms

 

[JadeB]

Yeah, I have. I take Wellbutrin and Seroquel for it.

 

[White City Black]

as an adult I realized I might have this shyt

My mind on a daily

Yea I have this too. Over the last few years due to constant research I realize I likely have the Inattentive ADD. The procrastination, unorganization, constantly being late, forgetfulness, etc. It’s wrecked havoc in my life in different ways and even when I think I can eventually quell it on my own, that “eventually” still hasn’t come. Like a fukkin endless daily loop. To this day I’ve yet to go get diagnosed for it.

ADD isn’t even something you get as an adult. It’s some shyt kids get but particularly in the 80s (I was born in ‘80 myself) you had kids being labeled with “learning disabled” when in reality it was ADD/ADHD all along. They just never got tested and diagnosed with it.
