Don't worry that much, focus on the bright side most kids grow out of ADD/ADHD. Also most people with ADD/ADHD go on to live normal successful lives. I know trust me I've experienced everything almost and now I give speeches at schools and promote awareness of everything ranging from mental disabilities to drug and alcohol addictions. You'll be just fine as long as you have good friends who will support you in your time of need.

It's sounds more to me like a type of restless syndrome.. But second thought it kind of does. If its anything you feel is serious you should tell someone like a doctor, counseler, psychiatrist, parent, etc., etc...

can you get meds or something?

[CryingEye666]

yea i could probably get meds

[countrygeek]

Eh, don't say it like that - you make it sound like some drug dealing thing.

Medication is a big step... You become very dependant on them just like glasses. The more you wear glasses, the stronger the perscription need gets. Same with these meds. Your prescription is going to get stronger and stronger and the price will go up every time. Besides, it's not ultimatley your decision. It's your parents. You can't diagnose yourself just like that...

my mom got me adderall, and i was on it for a while (2 years, i think). i got a tolerance to it, so i had to keep taking more, and when my mom decided to stop me using it, i was getting really depressed. psycologist said that i had a bad side effect, and i should try concerta. that worked really well, but then i got tics. so, now my mother said that i won't take anything anymore.


i guess what i'm saying is that meds don't always work and that to really think about it.

[CryingEye666]

yeah thats true
id have to ask a doctor
thanks everyoneeeee

[ricky]

Only a doctor can say if you need meds or not. Then its up to you and your parents. You can't just walk into a doctors office and say, "i wan't meds" you have to be diagnosed.
Meds are a big step, but from personal experence they have helped me a lot. Yes you probibly will need to get a higher dose every year, but the benifit you get from being able to function is worth it. Meds take time to work, and you have to try a couple to see which one will work the best for you.
