Does anybody have any expierence with any meds for ADHD? I just started getting treated for attention problems because it’s gotten to the point where I can’t hold conversations well. I saw doctor today and got strattera but already has made me very angry and some homocidal thoughts escaped into my mind. A little worried about asking about stimulant meds
I’m sort of having a hard time with this one too. I know some of my hyper spikes have been coming back…
It’s can’t be Adderall or my old friend Ritalin too stimulating. I’ve been talking to my doc a bit about it and he mentioned that Wellbutrin is sometimes used for ADHD as well as Norparmin.
I’ve heard of Wellbutrin… I have some thinking to do. The meds I’m on now work well for me. I don’t want to have to add more. But I do find I get a bit worse when I drink too much coffee as well.
Avoid the stimulants and it helps a little.

In Sweden the pdocs give Abilify to ADHD with aggression. I have Abilify and my ADHD is gone. But then again. Was it really ADHD or symptoms of sz breaking through…
Could the symptoms they’ve said are from ADHD be from SZ? I’m not aggressive unless I take the strattera or am panicking and abilify has made me shake.
I have no idea really. I was diagnosed ADHD when I was a just starting preschool and stuff.
Then as I grew up… my diagnosis grew too… up to Sz.
I don’t get aggressive as much as amped up… I HAVE to run and fidget and I start climbing the walls. I do get a bit emphatic and strong willed when I’m amped up like that. For me… I always figure it’s my old ADHD coming back.
Depends on symptoms. I have tourette’s too. Had it since I was 4 years old. Got ADHD dx when I was 25. My whole world was falling apart. Unfocused, hyperactive, impulsive, sleeping problems, fell asleep during boring tests, felt like time was running away from me, that I was left behind. I heared voices but did not tell the doc, I believed he could read my mind if I thought of something. So my mind went blank several times when he interviewed me.
My signs of things getting bad are unable to focus, sleepingproblems, hyperactivity, impulsive behavior. Very much lies in the sleeping part. When I stop sleeping all that happens to me and then I get psychotic.
Strattera worked great for me at first. Then after a couple of months I started getting wicked anxiety from it.
