    That is exactly how I am. Knock on wood I haven’t lost my cool in a while because I am starting to recognize the signs of my temper coming on and walking away rather than allowing myself to get sucked into a potentially bad situation

    I can relate. I was not abusing my stimulant which worked very well for me, but i abused pain pills which evidently was enough to take me off my vyvanse when they urine tested me.I self medicate with caffeine myself. I am hooked on monster energy drinks. I can’t even get a nonstimulant medicine. it’s awful. I was better when I was on my vyvanse and now I am struggling. I don’t use narcotics anymore and I’m working so hard to get my meds back. I understand your frustration. You are definitely not alone

    I would definitely go get tested. I’m a college student and after remembering all the issues I had in high school with concentrating, being organized and getting things done, I decided to get tested. Sure enough I got diagnosed which was a huge relief for me because I realized there were ways I could teach myself to cope.

    Hi Richard. My name is Emilee. As a kid my favorite hobbies were running around outside, riding four wheelers and dirt bikes. I was always hyperactive lol. I hear you when it comes to how long my hobbies last. I gp back and forth between going on a reading frenzy or TV marathons.

    I am 24 years old and was just recently diagnosed as well. They put me on vyvanse which I have been on for a month now and it really helps. It doesn’t solve all my problems but it makes dealing with them a lot easier. I would recommend reading “Taking Charge of Adult ADHD,” by Russell Barkley. That book gave me some helpful tips for when I am dealing with my daily struggles

    Maybe you need a different medicine or a higher dose. I am on 30 mg. Have been on it for a month now and it works for me

    My doctor said he was switching me because he thought I needed a change and I did not know this. Thanks for the information. I guess I will be making a phone call to them immediately
