Avatar n tn Sorry for the late response just joined MedHelp. Where I live we have a work force that can help with job searches and other tools to finding a career path that fits his desires. You should check for something like this for him.

Because a life long injury to make a grumpy coach happy is not worth it. (and its not). I wouldn't go above the coaches head or any of that type of thing. Just help your son prioritize and judge if a situation is a good one for him mentally or not.
Avatar n tn Hello Doug, Since I am a psychologist and not a prescriber, I can give you information about stimulants and ADHD in general, but the only one who should be talking specific dosage with you is someone who has reviewed your medical history and given you a physical. I see you wrote that you are taking zoloft at a pretty standard dose, but as I am sure you have discovered the SSRIs are a very different experience from stimulants.
Avatar m tn I did spend a lot of time with her brother that was difficult with ADHD during that time but she was loving and was always with her mommy and daddy and was extremely happy. Ever since Kindergarten she was been sent to the saferoom/recovery room at school for not following directions. Every year it seems as if by the end of the year the teacher cannot stand her. I am very involved at school and this absolutly kills me to see her struggling.
Avatar f tn Hi I'm a college student and I think I might have add. My brother has been diagnosed with adhd but I don't want to resort to medication so I'm looking for self help advice. Any suggestions?
Avatar n tn We have a ten year old son who was diagnosed with ADHD a couple of years ago. He takes stimulant medication (Methylin), and this helps quite abit, particularly with his hyperactivity. It also helps him to focus better. One of my friends has a daughter who is about the same age as our son, and she recently completed a five-week program to help her with attention and memory. The program is called Cogmed Working Memory Training. Do you think this might help our son?
Avatar n tn s therapist recommended Cogmed Working Memory Training to help her with attention. My daughter is eleven years old and was diagnosed with ADHD three years ago. She does well on Ritalin LA, but continues to have some problems remembering what she has been told about immediate tasks. Her therapist said this represents a problem with working memory, and that she might do well with the Cogmed Working Memory Training.
467977 tn?1262714747 Hi all, my husband is needing to know a good over-the-counter drug to help with his ADHD. It's mainly just to help him concentrate and study for med school (the irony). He had no time to see a Dr during the week b/c of his school schedule. Anyone know of any vitamins/otc drugs that will help calm him and help him concentrate?? Thanks in advance...
Avatar f tn //www.additudemag.com/adhd-in-adults-nervous-system/ finally the last two links are to two very good sites that post on adult adhd/add. They have a ton of info and (warning) it is almost overwhelming. But, it is really presented in a very interesting way (lots of videos). https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-nPM1_kSZf91ZGkcgy_95Q https://totallyadd.com/#/welcome/ Take some time to look at this stuff.
Avatar m tn If Adderral helps, you will definitely know. I have attention and hyperactivity issues...not so many impulse control issues. I could tell on my first dose there was a difference. I didn't constantly bounce my legs, move my feet and fidget. I felt calmer and my concentration was better. I wasn't so adverse to doing tasks I typically wouldn't do because I considered them "boring." These things improved over the first week. Also, my writing improved significantly...
Avatar m tn Have you tried ADHD coaching? I highly recommend it! You can find a coach on the ACO website (http://www.adhdcoaches.org/) Coaching can be done by phone or skype, so they don't have to be in your town. You can find coaches at all levels and price ranges. Best wishes!
Avatar f tn I did not find out that I had ADD until I was 20 and the meds have helped but I still struggle daily with concentration. I am considering using a Life coach since I have heard that they are really instrumental in treating this disease by making you accountable for the procrastination, concentration, and organization issues. I take adderall but the generic short acting med. This works good for me so that I can control the ups and downs that this med can cause.
2212714 tn?1342258744 Just order another book about the life of a person with ADHD. This was suggested by FreeCheri. If you have read it please post your op[nion about the contents. Any other resources would be appreciated.
Avatar n tn I have one cousin who truely has ADHD, and is living a very normal life at age 18 on medicine. I also know some doctors tend to over-diagnose kids. And I dont want my kid on meds if he is simply a little hyper. But i dont want to dismiss this if there is something that should be looked at.....can anyone give me any advice?
Avatar f tn I'm still in high school junior and I have severe ADHD and are on medication for it I'm worried what could happen if I continue taking it or if I should stop while I'm pregnant what should I do????
Avatar n tn My daughter will be 7 this Wednesday. She has finished 1st grade and will be going to 2nd grade. She is an A student, but did not test high enough for the gifted class. She had been diagnosed with ADD and takes Focalin 5mg for school and 2.5 mg for sports games and after school activities. The medicine has seemed to help the inattentivness in school. We are no longer cutting our papers in to confetti or cutting our hair, but socially she is a mess. She seems to not really have any friends.
Avatar m tn My 7 year old son was diagnosed last year with ADHD and OCPD and was put on Stratera. He has improved greatly with his Hyperactivity and is now able to control it himself therefore we took him off the medication. Now we are having other issues with him forgeting and losing things that most of us wouldn't. He will forget his homework at school or forget to turn it in after it is completed. Once in awhile this happening I wouldn't be too concerned but this happens on an almost daily basis.
Avatar m tn HAS there ever been a successfull case of a child leading a normal life suffering from add? if yes how was it achieved?
Avatar m tn We also live in the age of excellent technologies such as Google calendar, blackberrys and the Motivaider, all of which can support working memory and organizational deficits. You can also hire a person called an ADHD coach who can help you figure out ways to avoid letting your symptoms interfere with your success. I would recommend you consult with a psychologist to learn more about your condition.
Avatar f tn Yes, ADHD without Hyperactivity seems really likely in that case. That form of ADHD also happens to be the form I have. I was the same in that I always excelled in school and seemed to concentrate just fine. I've heard the problem in this form is sometimes not a lack of attention but a lack of the ability to concentrate on the right thing. It became a significant problem for me around that age too. Puberty tends to make disorders worse. You should probably try to get him a diagnosis.
Avatar f tn Hi, i am going to start with About me is have 4 kids (2 adhd and 2 tipical) i am a adhd coach, i run parent support groups for CHADD and i have it my self. I get parents all the time who get blind sided with a posiblity of adhd. Now about your son. Lets be honest you are expecting. You are not the super mom you can be or were 6 months ago. You are growing a life and that is hard. Then you have a little boy whos whole world is changing. having mixed feelings about what is to come is normal.
Avatar m tn I feel your frustration. Kind of makes me wonder about the training of the doctors you have worked with. For example, weight loss is a very common side effect with lots of known ways to deal with it - and it sounds like no one has discussed this with you? Which also makes me wonder about what kind of doctors you have been working with? I also wonder about your overall knowledge of the subject - not your fault, I blame that on the doctors.
1551327 tn?1514045867 If you were writintg a book about your life, or drawing a picture of the climax of your life. What would that climactic event be right now? Time for reflection and compassion. Think about all 4 if you wish. I hope you find something inspirational and life, love, recovery, or after life affirming. Have a great night.
