	+ ------ + ''2008-06-04 15:36:20'' [[nbsp]] My mother was convinced I had ADD simply because I tended to procrastinate on homework. She basically flat-out lied to the doctors about my ability to focus, and every time I told her, "Mom, look, I'm focusing REALLY WELL," she insisted that one of the symptoms of ADD is "hyper-focusing". (Funny, then, how I hyper-focused on EVERYTHING.) + + So she forced me to take the pills. Between sixth grade and eleventh grade, she had me on Dexedrine, Concerta, Ritalin, and Adderall. I think it was in that order. Funny how they made me do worse in school, actually. But the worst thing was, every single one of them suppressed my appetite. I was already too skinny (I still am, but I've put on about fifteen pounds since high school!), but during the times in high school when I took the pills, I never went over 82 pounds; during the times where I managed to avoid them, I even made it up to ninety pounds once. + + Use these pills with care, because they are NOT healthy if you're like me. --["Users/KarinaSummers"]

I was also on Strattera and I had horrible side effects as well. At first, I thought it was okay, but after some time I noticed a lot of bizarre side effects. I couldn't sleep and I stopped eating completely. It wasn't just that it suppressed my appetite, but I physically couldn't eat. I also became anxious and nervous. I couldn't articulate what I was feeling correctly and nobody could understand what I was really trying to say. It was at the worst time, too. I also felt like I wasn't my normal care-free, creative self. I also know some other ADD-ers that had horrible experiences with Strattera (all men, now that I think of it. . .). A lot of these medications have horrible side effects which is why a lot of people choose to not medicate. To anyone who is starting on medications, be careful The doctor's usually use the trial-and-error method of finding you the right meds so. . . .caveat emptor. --["Users/CurlyGirl26"]

The good news here is that if you drink it only when you need it and go for periods without it, you may avoid the whole experience of it not working anymore. Or if you find that you've been drinking a ton of coffee and it's just not doing it for you anymore, stop drinking it for a week or two (I realize that this may be easier said than done for some people) and then go back to drinking coffee.

And I think having a forum for dialogue will help us get someplace. Ideas will crystalize. At the risk of sounding trite, I think that it helps knowing that other people struggle with similar issues. I for one find it comforting knowing that others drift in and out during conversations, too! And having light hearted comments and using humor to discuss these issues can be helpful, too. --["Users/CurlyGirl26"]

However, if not addressed people can suffer some very real consequences (unemployment, drug addiction, getting booted out of school, etc). All we want to do is create a space for support/discussion and perhaps suggest some coping strategies. I don't think everyone who has trouble focusing is ADD. We tend to throw this around and doctors are so quick to diagnose certain people with it. Hey, you could have ADD OR you could just be a crappy student. At any rate, we just want to throw up some information and help some people out (and by "people" I do mean me). Heh. --["Users/CurlyGirl26"]

It's so unbelievably overdiagnosed that perhaps maybe a tenth of those diagnosed with it really have it. Hyperactivity is not synonymous with ADD. Having it doesn't mean that you can't concentrate on things, just that it is harder to concentrate on some things. Drugs are helpful, but not necessary. I have it; I live with it. If you use it as an excuse for something, I'm liable to slap you. + </mini_rant> --["Users/WilliamLewis"]
