Any ADD/ADHDcels here?

[Deleted member 8499]

I have ADD and it has pretty much ruined my student life because even though I'm a good student it's really hard for me to concentrate and consequently I have to spend way more time on studying than an average person needs. I still remember one final exam day that I couldnt concentrate whatsoever and even though I studied well I ended up not finishing all the tasks on the time limit.


what are you doing to fight this destructive illness?

Why dont you get some pharmaceutical quality, DR perscribed Amphetamines?

I suspect I have it and my life has suffered because of it. I feel to old to bother doing anything about it though.

Its not hard, just see a doctor, ask to see a psychiatrist and tell him how you cant concentrate on school. If you ever been diagnosed as ADD/ADHD it will be a lot easier. Otherwise it will take time and you may have to see a few different psychiatrists, but eventually you will get what you want.

Thankgod I live in Canada where its all free, even my Ritilan was free. Although I ended up losing weight so I stopped. But I certainly felt a lot better on it. Every morning I would look forward to my coffee and my pill. A beautiful combination of such a pleasant stimulation. Was more happy and productive absolutely.

I was surprised just how strong the effects are, I assumed because it was medical, it would be a mild effect. But it was pretty strong. In a good way. Come to think of it I really miss Ritalin!

from a quick research I saw that with Ritalin you end up worse from what you begun with. Was that the case with you?

Cant say it was better or wose for me. I ended up getting a job after sitting on my ass for over a year. But in the end its no cure and you are only productive on it and yes it has negative side effects. Biggest for me was appetite suppression.

I just stopped and went back to my former self. Lazy, unmotivated and unorganized. I think It actually improved me over all because it got me to develop some organizational and motivational skills. Although they didnt last. I dont think it made me "worse" after stopping though. Not at all. Infact some days I just wouldnt take it and Id just feel back to how I was pre medication. Kind of surprising that flooding the brain with dopamine did not leave me feeling like shit without it. But thats ritilan. The Amphetamines come with more dependence I believe.

The only thing I hated about it was the appitite suppression, but thats stimulants for you.

Not a real mental illness. Humans aren't built to concentrate on boring shit for hours without being bored. ADD isn't even considered a mental illness anymore, it was removed from the mental illness handbook
