Re: Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, ADHD, and hormone imbalance

[Born this way]

I know my brother has ADHD. Everyone else thinks he’s bipolar or has thyroid too.

I’m on Adderall XR 45mgs now and I don’t have all the crying and emotion I did on Concerta. My son has bad crying when the medication is wearing off. I was having that too and it seemed to intensify with PMS. I constantly struggle with thinning hair, neck and shoulder tension.

I’ve been researching medication combos. Because something was way off. I was initially given 100mg Sertraline (Zoloft) for anxiety and depression before my ADHD diagnosis. I don’t think I have depression. It’s always been ADHD. I’m depressed that I’m trying so hard and not getting any results! I just found Dr. Parker’s vlog on cognitive anxiety. Being paralyzed by thinking too much. And when SSRIs are given, things get worse. I had uncontrollable crying, my memory was gone I was even misspelling things I know! I was so frustrated that I could not even speak or find the right words my mind was blank. When I told my Psych, he’s said to increase my Sertraline to 200mg. I turned into someone my family didn’t recognize. My medication was switched to Adderall XR and I went back to 100mg Sertraline against his advice. I hope I can convince him to get me off the Sertraline.
