I am surprised that no one has replied
yet. I have adult adhd and symptoms vary.
But include : impulsiveness,
distractability, lack of focus, being
unorganized, unable to finish what you
start, social problems, being overly
sensitive, forgetfulness, and others. It
can create other problems if it goes
undetected. Adults diagnosed with adhd
may have, a social disorder, obsessive
compulsive disorder, personality
disorders, low self-esteem,
depression(some bipolar), and antisocial
disorders. But these depend on the
severity of there problem, heredity, and
coping skills, as well as enviornment and
other things. I am not on meds so I can
not be of assistance there. I have mitral
and tricuspid valve prolapse so I cannot
take stimulants. I've tried wellbutrin
which is supposed to help but it did not
seem to help me. I would like to try
strattera but I have no insurance at this
time. I saw your other post. Please let
me know how it works for you. I also have
two children with adhd. And I am fixing
to put my oldest on it. He is on
medicaid. Read driven to distraction or
try searching the internet or library. I
found a wonderful video tape about adult
add at the library called all about adult
add. It was great!!! Well good luck in
your endeavors!!!!!!!
