i have moderate adhd symptoms, idk if its caused by sz meds or comorbid adhd. my memories are a bit scattered from before sz onset but i used to be on adhd meds as a kid but stopped them due to nausea and vomitting and like drowsiness. years went by and sz hit now im on ap’s and ad’s and have the attention span of a goldfish, focus, and motivation are a bit bad, also trouble with decision-making and racing mind occasionally. i dont know if i have adhd even tho i was treated for it when young because sz and adhd seem like opposite mechanisms. im unsure tho.
i wonder does anybody else have symptoms resembling adhd, and if so if you were previously suspected of having adhd or if its just meds and negative symptoms mimicking the condition
I have had ADHD symptoms all my life that were never addressed as a kid. I got a diagnosis as an adult but my current psychiatrist does nothing, nothing at all. I’m also very hyperactive sometimes but not most of the time which makes me think i’m combined type. For example I have a group of three people which would talk on skype whenever we can. I’m usually the one that talks the most shite when in the mood xD and i’m sure there’s no mania involved.
It should be cognitive deficits not meds or negs I think. Since last two or three years I am experiencing ADHD like symptoms. Difficulty maintaining attention, physical restlessness, difficulty making decisions and following through.
My psychiatrist doesn’t say anything when I complain about non psychotic problems.
