ADHD

Bear · Post by **Bear** » Wed Mar 14, 2007 6:28 pm

I had to go to my family planning conceltation, deals with all sorts. Mainly mental therapy and family therapy sessions and etc. my case is drugs and depression and etc.

My Doctor said he monitored my behaviour (my recent) and noticed a flaw in my mental and physical attributes. He asked me a few q's on what i felt like and etc. and i told him exactly. He diagnosed me with ADHD, Hes given me some medication and it kicked it about 30 mins and everythings changed. I can think clearly and etc. But why couldnt i sense this before? I dont know why i didnt have it. Ive always felt like it and acted like it. Im generally forgetful but assessed as 'too forgetful' and etc. un organized and etc. I thought i was a normal teenager :s fucking wierd.

My constant hyper movements with jigging of my legs and arms. But im always a happy positive person.

I dont fully know the full spec of ADHD. It controls my behaviour, yet behaving better than usual. Not as frustrated and etc. and i can 'think' alot clearer when i make an action or desicion.

What is the full spec sorta thing, what actually is it... i know its a stupid q but from your own understandings what is it to you? Will it penalise me in anyway?

Very much love, Bear.

edit, after the pregnant girlfriend, 2 name changes, you posing about all the kinds of drugs you did/do, you quiting drugs, you being a shizofrenic, the cops charging "your" house, dealing at 15 years old, your doctor putting you on ritalin all of a sudden while not even explaining to which extence you have adhd, and the countless other things that you run into, i'm really curious for the next

I don't mean to offend you, seriously, but I always thought you had some kind of mental thing going on. It jumps out of your posts like a frog in a frying pan.

Great analogy. Anyways, I myself have not noticed this. Hmm, maybe I should try ritalin, I can never seem to get things done. Oh well.

im very sorry hashpipe, i know you dont favour me as a user of weedguru and all, i can tell by your posts. But please dont be so bloody judgemental. Im a cool guy in real life as on here. I try all i can to not let problems getting me down.

Plus i dont pose i take drugs man, your talking shit right there. Ive never had ritalin. I dont know were that came from man.

Also yes just to clear things up, my girl is pregnant, i did deal but not anymore because i had a massive scare with arrest. So what im a skitzo, doesnt matter. Im not asking for your fucking oppinion on my life im asking your help and advice for this topic so please dont make it personal. If you wish to, then PM me. But i dont have the time nor patience to answer to people like you atm and many others.

I respect Jay for making that post, for 1 reason. He was open and honest and he said he didnt mean to offend me in any way, you hashpipe are making accusations, reviewing my life as if it were a lie. Well you dont know me, i dont know you. So please dont make this personal. I just want to get on with everyone here, im sure you want the same.

Im asking for you help, not your cussing down.

Now please can somebody post something that has to do with this topic, ADHD.

Not my girl, not my mental condition, apart from this one.

Now please be fucking reasonable. and yes i can change my fucking username.

love you all, Merry.

Well if you have ADHD you should be getting ritalin. Are you sure it's actually ADHD you have, because if you definatly got rispieridone, then i think you should get a second opinion.

i have not had ritalin as of yet :s i dont know much about it myself.

I have respiradone and some other tablets, im not so well informed. The respiridone for me took a long while to kick in, like 2 to 3 weeks. But this stuff took very short, matter of half an hour to kick in and i can already feel a change. I have 2 tablets a day, one earlier and one now.

I dont know very much on the situation, I do have ADHD. But tommorow im going back to the family conceltation/mental house (its called a house for some reason which i do not know why).

He said to me also, that people who have ADHD when taking drugs helps the condition in some way. Like block it or something, im not so sure myself.

Just to clear, i do not take any other medication for my other mental health defects because generally... ive lived with them for too long to give a flying fuck.
Im going back there and seeing what the fucks going on.

But anyway, can somebody just give me the clear straight facts... of if it gets worse, better or whatever. Just normal straight facts of ADHD.

Hes doubled the dose of respiridone, 3 tablets, instead of being the usual red tablets its now white. So i guess more dosage or percentage of the drug in there.

From wikipedia.

A friend has, or had ADHD, and was prescribed ritalin about 9 years ago, and has only just come off them. He's quite a violent bloke, and will generally get driven by emotion. Also, once a patient with ADHD woke up from a bad car accident, and got pissy with the staff and tried to destory the hospital equipment, expected, but then decides to physically assault staff and other patients.

You probarbly arent on respiradone for ADHD, your doctor probarbly just doesnt want to combine medicines.

now thats some good fucking facts/advice, *actually clapping*

cheers dude.

Im on respiredone for emotional outbursts because i am very depressed at times, so many thoughts run through my mind and then i act without consulting my brain first. But as im writing to you now, i cant think what im saying im just typing.

My head feels blank, literally, like just airs inside it. Hollow, you could call.

No problem. That's just shitty anti depressants. You'll feel better once they pump you full of steroids; although i'm not sure on the compatablilty between them.
