ADD / ADHD.. do you have it?
I have it. It's been there all along and I just never knew. My doctor mentioned it to me and suggested I read a book called Driven to Distraction. I felt like I was reading biography about myself at times. Prior to then I viewed it as kinda bullshit really. Thought it was something parents used to explain why their kid was out of control. I realize now I was completely wrong and I regret not trying to understand it sooner. For one thing It's not something only children suffer from. Many adults have it and many go undiagnosed.

Today is a first for me. Today I started taking medication for it. And while I clearly haven't taken it long enough to really understand it's effects on me either good or bad I can tell you how I feel currently.

I feel energized, alert and more focused. I feel like nothing can slow me down. I feel like fighting a bear (I won't). I somehow feel more confident. I think I've been bouncing both my feet up and down all day while I've sat at my desk. I also feel like I look like this..



But I don't. I look normal and well rested even though I slept my normal 5.5 hours last night.

So do you have it? When did you learn that you did? Have you taken medication for it? What kind and what type of effects did it have on you?

Theoretically yes. I have been prescribed Ritalin. But it speeds me up so much I rarely take it.

I do computer programming which is a good career for someone with ADHD. The Ritalin really helps when I have to do something I hate like documentation.

It's the amphetamine without the meth.

Pure, clean, amphetamine. Greatest performance enhancer that ever existed.

Ooof. It's too hardcore. Coffee and a bong bowl to even out the rush is more my speed.

Also there are other drugs like Strattera that I don't think are speedy at all.

That said, Ritalin blows.

Closer to coke than Amps.

Ahhh, that old wives tale.

Total BS. It just locks you into what you are doing. Kids seem calmer because they are tweaking out on the task at hand, and it does it to everyone.

Yeah. It 'calmed me down' too.

But my heart rate was still through the ****ing roof and I was speeding my ass off.

you're afraid to say shit around here with all of the assholes who never let things go ... but man, as someone who has had problems with "black outs" when drinking heavily ... and doing stupid shit because you lose your filter ... adderall literally prevents me from blacking out.

For that alone it's amazing

Everyone is different. My heart hardly races on Amps. Ritalin though, gives me all that nasty sweaty racy crap.

Ok that makes sense.

What about Strattera though? The psych doctor gave me that as one of my options but said it takes a couple weeks to have any effect. I just wanted something I could take in spots.
