Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

I read another post like this a few days ago. I wish I recalled more.

I haven't used ADHD meds since school. Don't really see the point in them as an adult.

Did your mind race alot before starting ADHD meds?

@Utdmad89 Yeah, my case is a bit peculiar.I found out I have ADHD (ADD actually) when I was 29 years old. Procrastination was the main reason why I started taking meds. Isn't ADHD a big deal in your daily life?

@Strawberryblonde Yup! Until quite recently, I thought it was 'normal' to think like that. Now I know that I really lived an exhausting life haha. How about you?

I feel like i am always thinking of something and not being able to relax my mind. Also feeling like always being on the go without actually doing so. Even at night drifting of my mind is on the go, it just never stops lol Good to hear you are having benefits of starting concerta??? :) @Christiaan

@Christiaan of course, but i don't think meds are as helpful as people makenthem out to be, they caused me to have chronic headaches and weight gain and just wasn't worth it in my opinion. I compensate for my ADHD.

Wish I knew. I suffer from terrible executive dysfunction and hyperfixation but I keep being forced to take antidepressants.

@Utdmad89 I get that. I share your experience that there's some trade-off with taking this stuff, but it's mostly louder T. Anyway, it's great to hear that you have found some balance with your ADHD. That really shows character:)

@kingsfan Aren't you allowed to take ADHD meds because of antidepressants? I take Mirtazapine and that wasn't an obstacle for my psychiatrist to prescribe Concerta.
