Symtpoms of Add Or Adhd Meds Posted: 11-14-07 07:58am
My husband and I recently met someone who
seems to be whigged out. Every time we're
around him, he's bouncing off the walls or
talking loudly. Plus, his eyes get very
large. He's in his early 20's. I was
thinking maybe he's on some medication ...
does ADD or ADHD meds do this to a person?

Right --- but do amphetamines cause these
kinds of symptoms? I think perhaps, but
there could also be a psychological
element to the behavior described. I vote
for both possibilities.

Well I have add and so does my boyfriend.
And from my understanding you act normal
when you are on the medications if you
actually have add or adhd. But if you take
the medication and don't have add or adhd
it makes you act hyper and high. Kind of
sounds like he has adhd and isn't taking
his medicine though.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. My
intuition told me that the person is a
little erratic. Maybe there are some
issues going on here.
