Reply To: Help! Recently Diagnosed ADHD

[catr]

Here’s the thing, I wasn’t asking questions. I went to the doctor because my husband convinced me it was time to talk to someone and figure out what was wrong with me. I seriously thought I had early onset dementia (yes, at 27 that is what I told my doctor). I still don’t get it. ADHD?? What’s the difference in it and ADD? Does everyone not have a million thoughts all the time? Why does Concerta make me feel like a zombie? The pharmacist told me that people take it to stay up all night… I could take one of those 36mg ones and fall asleep like id ran a marathon. And I read that you can become dependent on the medication… that is SCARY! I just don’t know what expectation to have, because obviously I don’t understand what normal is.
