Avatar f tn I think that it will ease your feeling of unease. It is really important to understand what ADHD had done/is doing to you. As Fjbebo suggests, it is something that can be overcome - but to do that, you gotta understand it.

Avatar m tn I would agree that this sounds more like Tourette's Syndrome than ADHD. A good doctor should be able to help, and if he/she doesn't help, be persistent and find someone who can! In addition to medication, mediTAtion can possibly help with the panic response you are having to the tics. Massage, even self massage, and hot baths may give you a little relief from the muscular tension.
Avatar f tn Hello, this is just my opinion and only that. Your son is very young for kindergarten. He must be one of the youngest in the class. Most kids are 5 before the enter kindergarten with the majority turning 6 during the school year. This can make a big difference in maturity level and developmental abilities. He may just not be ready for the enviroment yet. This is a real possibility with your son.

Avatar f tn He is very hard to control and deal with and I see the stress and havoc it causes.So I wonder if it is something that is avoidable. Note that I'm pregnant,I wonder if it is caused by some sort of deficiency or is there anything I could do to increase the chances of NOT having a baby/child affected by this.

952564 tn?1268368647 Things are not well for me in general. I'm feeling mixed for many days now but this is a problem I've been having for a few months. At first I thought it was just me but now I am starting to worry and I'm thinking it may be a sign of something else going on but a sign no one would pay attention to. It seems like a silly thing but at this point I am worried. When I answer the phone at work I am supposed to say "Good morning...." or "Good afternoon....
Avatar m tn Kind of hard to tell from your profile or posts what you are - not that it matters (but you might want to click on your profile and check it and your posts out. To answer your question. I really think it does matter! Basically there are people witth ADHD who have gone through a lot of their life feeling that something was wrong with them and that they were different. This may have led to the depression that a lot of them have suffered.
778631 tn?1238260276 What ADHD med does your doctor have you on? It should definitely work by now. I am also on ADHD meds but I do not feel like you do. What is the history of ADHD medications and Did anything traumatic in your life happen recently or in you childhood? You are going to have to see a therapist so that you can talk through these problems that you are having. It really sounds like you are having severe depression and need some help.
Avatar f tn Is it safe to become pregnant, having anxiety disorder? I don't even want to try, if the baby may be unhealthy. I also don't want to be on any meds. while pregnant. What do you think guys, should I try, or no?
Avatar m tn You are certainly doing the right thing by requesting testing. It is very difficult to help a child unless you know what the problem is. His actions at school certainly are typical of someone with ADD. And yes, by now, he certainly may be hating school because he has such a difficult time coping with it. I would definitely suggest doing some research on ADD/ADHD so you can understand what is going on. You also might want to read, The ADD/ ADhD Answer book." , by Susan Ashley.

Avatar f tn Is it common for children with adhd to lie and steal? What suggestions do you have for these issues? He is only 8 years old. He is on medication when he is at school at his moms house and then he is not when he comes to our house. Even on the medication he steals and lies. We have tried grounding him on several occasions each time taking things away and for longer periods of time. We tried taking him down to the police station so that a police officer would talk to him.
Avatar m tn Amphetamine is speed. It is a controlled prescription substance, but is also found on the street and is illegal in that form. Street names are meth, crank, crystal. If this was also found in your urine along with the clonazepam, and you did not take either, then it would be good to see if you can retake the urine test.

19862199 tn?1485638253 All meds have a length of duration. If the med is lasting longer then it should - it is a sign of overmedication. This chart will give you length of duration for most medications. http://www.leeheymd.com/charts/adhd_1.html Hope this helps. Please let me know if you need any more info. Best wishes.
Avatar n tn Hi i wanted to ask, well really just to confirm what i think i already know. I use to use speed when i was 19 and stopped about 21. i'm now 29. but i was wondering is it abuse when you miss use laxatives, valium and modgen (ADHD) med. i take all somedays and mod everyday. this has not been precribed for me. bought it off internet site, to help with triedness and generally feeling like poo, and to stop the self harm that happens when i feel like poo. i have suidical thoughts sometimes too.
