Hi guys I am at doctors and we are talking about ADHD and testing. Has anyone been tested for it? Take meds? What's it all about and how do you know if you have it?
Yes, Risperdal is often used for adhd now. Not as a sole treatment but an add on. Are you on any other adhd meds? I don't know your complete med list which would be helpful. 1 in 5 children treated with adhd is on risperdal as well. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/874722 You should have a diagnosis from your doctor. Anyway to ask the question specifically? When do you do a med check?
My son is a very active child ,veeery active, yet once he has found something that interrests him greatly he will stay in one place and focus on that perticular thing. My sons father has ADHD and there are several other disorders in the family on his side. I always accepted the fract that there would be a great possibility that my son would have ADHD as well,.
I waited until he went to kindergarden and showed struggling academically, and in his behaviour, communicating with the teacher helped.

However, ignore the prozac stuff. It is very bad to mix with stim meds.

before you read the journal i want you to know that i am extremely adhd, and so is my son, now i blamed myself for a very long time because i believed that his developmental problems was a result of me taking paxil when i was pregnant, but the more i research this, the evidence pointts more toward genetics than anything else
do not drown yourself in a sea of guilt, the past is the past, we can move forward by doing the next right thing
early in recovery i did this parenting in recovery wo
I am 44. Recently diagnosed with inattentive ADHD. I have all types of memory problems, focus/concentration problems. A have a phobia of any situation that might reveal a lack of ability to articulate. I have very poor reading comprehension and have to read and reread many times to process it or in other words there is little automaticity there when I read. I have tried 6 different medications none of which has helped. My only source of relief is avoidance and denial.
Ran into an article in the Journal for the American Academy of Family Practitioners published this month, telling doctors that Levothyroxine is the ONLY valid treatment for hypo and to trust the TSH. I called the Academy and was transferred to the editor of the Journal and advised him of the more current articles (that I published here) conducted and published in Europe and now published by the NIH.
I did some research on some stuff that has been going on with me since I was a child and I strongly think I could be add/adhd. I know that I am no doctor and cannot diagnose myself but every time I bring up testing me for this my psychiatrist just kind of shrugs it off saying that it could be something else and while I do respect that she is more educated in this than me I also do not see the harm in a test.

and the site above has several other really good materials on adult adhd/add.
But back to the doctor issue for a bit. I would try and find a doctor that advertises treating adhd. A psychologist or psychiatrist would be my first choice.
And YES, go for it. I have seen adults get life changing answers.

My personal opinion is that this test is just a way for inexperienced professionals to deal with a problem they have little knowledge of.
Are you in the United States (which state) or England?
These doctors are not going to be helpful. You might have more luck going through your local schools. Your best bet is to find a doctor that specializes in ADHD - probably a psychiatrist.
I am worried that my brother may have ADHD. he is constantly on the go and can never relax. even when he asleep he is restless. He struggles to get to sleep and has temper tantrum often. He has even resorted to throwing things around the room and hitting people. Any one can help, please speak to me.
