Re: Borderline ADHD?

[Anonymous]

I have been diagnosed twice, now. First time, the meds interacted with some others and I had to make a choice, so I dropped the adderall.

10 years later, dx again. My meds were working well at first, maybe too good (started a bunch of projects, since I felt good for a change.) Things were leveling out and then my world started to tilt. I was very stressed over a family situation and going absolutely crazy. It was making me ill. I thought it was the meds bugging out on me.

But stress is stress and I don’t do it well.So yes, there can be many things that effect the symptoms. I am mellowing out as the household has mellowed. Plus we had a very hot summer, and it and stirred up my autoimmune stuff, too.

FYI my son was tested and borderline, just short of the ribbon; believe me, he has the full enchalada plus a learning disorder. After seeing the PBS show and getting the book, there is no doubt in my mind he has it and he is in denial. The stress of college brought it all together.

As I have an autoimmune disorder, I know what it’s like to need a dx and need it now. I took wellbutrin and that settled my ADHD down and worked for many years. So, maybe the full on ADHD drugs aren’t needed in your case. Take care
