I am 19 years old. I thought that I was normal. However, my study habits and skills were greatly suffering. I also have low self esteem and as I was unable to complete ONE task, I started to get depressed. Very depressed. I thought that I would never amount to anything. I had tried every single thing I could do to cope with not being able to get anything accomplished, and I finally resorted to *******. My parents found me and I was immediately put in therapy. At first they thought I was bipolar, but I looked back at my habits, and realized I had huge focusing problems. I mentioned ADD and they gave me a questionaire. I scored 33 when the requirement was 24. Today is my first day on 30 mg Vyvanase. I noticed a dramatic improvement. I was doing so well in school. But it makes me feel like I can’t connect with myself very well. I mean, I can, but it’s not like I used to. I have some control over my emotions, but not alot. I don’t want to go back to the way that I was before, but I know th
at the medication might turn me into a different person. I know that if I go back I won’t be able to be productive because this medicine is my last resort and it’s working so well. I just don’t want to lose myself in the medication. Also, is it safe for your body? Is any ADD medication? Because I am scared of the medicine and it’s side effects. I don’t want to stop taking it, because I know that I need it, so is it safe to take for a long period of time? Ty!!

Enough, show me the money!

There are two kinds of criticism:

1) Unjustified criticism. One day Henry Ward Beecher went to his church to preach. As the great orator placed his Bible on the pulpit he noticed a blank sheet of paper with the word ‘fool’ written on it. Beecher’s keen sense of humour seized the moment. He lifted the paper for all to see, then his booming voice filled the church as he announced, ‘Generally I receive letters from people who write and forget to sign their name. This letter is different. The person has signed his name but forgotten to write the letter.’

2) Justified criticism. Criticism that’s justified has a measure of truth in it. An old Arab proverb states, ‘If one person calls you a donkey, forget it. But if five people call you a donkey, buy a saddle.’

Dr James G Kerr, a management psychologist, points out that a major deterrent to gaining information about ourselves lies in our natural reluctance to discover anything about ourselves that isn’t flattering. When we erect defences against our own inadequacies and try to hide our faults from ourselves and others, we close the door to a vital source of self-knowledge and therefore deny ourselves the joy of spiritual growth. Stop hiding from the truth. Every one of us can improve what we’re doing and the way in which it’s being done. As they say, ‘The largest room in the world is room for improvement!’
Ooops sorry about the spelling……. It was a forward e-mail…….. I just thought it was worth passing on!!

My doctor diagnosed me with ADHD for my forgetfulness/bad memory and concentration

I took concerta and the first day it worked like a miracle. My memory was impecable, and i was eager to learn &socialize which was unusual because i am a very reserved person

my doctor wanted me to wait a month, but i stopped taking it after 1.5 weeks because i noticed
after the first day i began to experience negativity, social anxiety, sensitivity, low self confidence& esteem, and more withdrawn and full of anger. i couldn’t take it anymore so
i was switched to 20mg adderall
and i have yet to experience any form of improvement (day 3).
but i’ve been experiencing similar side effects as concerta.

does anyone have some kind of input? (i’m not interested in sarcastic or otherwise meaningless remarks)
do you think i might need a higher dosage,
or should i stop taking it completley?

i’ve tried talking to my doctor but he doesn’t acknowledge these symptoms the way i’d like him to
