Sounds normal to me, to be honest. She's only 6------ it is difficult to block out all things and completely focus when in a noisy (which they all kind of are at that age) classroom. Is she doing fine with her work?? Is school coming to you with complaints? If not, then I would not make this into a big deal. If you think about it, we all have a subconsious as well that 'speaks' to us. Totally normal but a hard thing for a young child to verbalize.

Hi, i've always been very absent-minded and scatter brained, but i've never thought i could be ADD until my friends brought it up to me. I'm a 19 year old pre-med major at Baylor. I've noticed that I don't follow lectures at all. As hard as i try, a few sentences in and i've lost complete focus. I was sitting in the car with my friend, just having normal conversation, when she asked me if I had ever considered being tested for ADD.

my question is this, how do you get tested for add? where do you get tested? and which doctor gives you add medicine if you need it? what is the test like ? do they just ask questions? i know i have it and it would be nice to read a book...

My 7 yr grandson has been diagnosed with ADD. He is taking Stratera. He has been for about 1yr. His dose is 25 mg a day. It helps with some things. His main problem is his mouth(back talking), irritates to point she cries his sister, just plain defies you some days, and cries at the drop of a hat(sometimes for no reason and others when not getting his way). His mom is almost to her breaking point with his behavior. They live with us. His mom and dad are divorced.

my niece who has a semilar problem with add is on prozac and it seems to be working well for her. i am not sure if she is on prozac and adderol or just prozac, but I was wondering if that would help in terms of the anxiety that these drugs sometimes cause me. any help is appreciated.

I was wondering--have any of you been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD)? I was quite surprised when my neuro diagnosed me with this last week. I think it's related to my MS, but not sure (dummy me didn't think to ask). He told me that Provigil actually helps with this problem and raised my dosage a bit. The cognitive stuff has improved greatly since taking Provigil, but if it would go away completely, I don't think I'd mind one bit!

Certainly you exhibit some of the symptoms of ADD. You are also of an age that did not focus on girls in public schools who had ADD. All the attention tended to go to those hyper little boys. So its entirely possible that you were overlooked, specially if you had the intelligence to "get by". A site that you might be interested in checking out is - http://jeffsaddmind.com/ Its for adults with ADHD, but a lot of it applies. Take a while to go through it.

I have gone through both, they are comorbidities of ADD. The depression can spring up out of the life problems that ADD causes and the predisposition many of us have for the chemical imbalances of Depression. The insomnia I went through felt like I just couldnt turn off my thoughts, my mind was racing and I wasnt able to sleep. I dont often have that problem anymore, it was mostly as a kid.

Weird, never heard that one before - and I have been on this site for 4 years. I think that a lot of the adults with ADD would be real surprised if it were true. As long as you have a prescription you are fine.

I have 16 year old twin boys who have just now recently been diagnosed with ADD by a Neurologist. He has prescribed Concerta which I can understand but he also prescribed Lamictal and from the information I can find this is for Bipolar or Epilepsy. Can anyone out there comment?

Hi. I was diagnosed with ADD when I was 8. I have always taken medication to help me focus in school and have always found that I lose my appitie and when the medication wears off at night I get my appitie back. Well now that I'm 15 I've became obsessed with my weight. Exercising like crazy tracking calories and carbs in everything I eat. I take in about 600-800 calories a day. Is that healthy for a 15 year old girl?

Ya, its a pretty good chance you have ADD. Here is a great site that lists the symptoms for ADD. You might want to see how you compare. The site is - http://www.help4adhd.org/about/what/WWK8 Its worth finding out if you do have ADD for several reasons. The main one being that even though you have been coping fairly well, you really haven't hit the really hard educational stuff. You must have pretty good intelligence.

was wondering if adult add goes un detected for quite a while, its just i suffer with anxiety and have been told its a side effect of add or adhd, i have always been quite hyperactive as a person and as a young person was very unruly and troublesom and did not quite understand why i was like that and why i was doin things wrong, i always have compulsions to get in trouble and still do, i also suffer with a bad temper but i dont mean to have these outbursts they just happen!!

I'm not sure if Concerta is working for me? I'm a 20 year old female and I was recently diagnosed with ADD. I was prescribed with 18mg of Concerta, once every morning. I didn't feel particularly focused, but I suppose less distracted than usual. I felt very calm and relaxed on the first day. But since the first day, I don't notice any difference at all.

If your daughter has the diagnosis of ADD she might also have an autistic spectrum disorder or Aspergers. If you suspect that then you have to go back and ask for further assessments.

About 3 months ago my fiance was diagnosed with ADD, something we have learned he has had from childhood but was never diagnosed or treated. He also has OCD which is being treated. I realise that his behavior is something that cannot be altered quickly, these lifetime of bad habits will take time to break but I am finding it all very overwhelming and hard to be in a relationship. He is yet to be seen by a professional but has asked for my help. I have tried my hardest.

Has anyone ever taken adderall while prego?? I am 6 weeks prego n have really bad ADD. I am currently on 30 mg a day. But I don't want to take anything that will harm my baby, however its is difficult for me to get my work done. Any advice?

There was a news item today that claimed a connection between ADD and the use of organophosphates (a pesticide) on the food we eat. Apparently, in tests it was found that children with ADD tended to have very high levels (well above he norm) of this poison in their systems. I will see what more I can learn about this. Even when we are conscientious in caring for our children there are hidden dangers all around us.
