News of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Forum

This is probably nothing, but I'm very interested. Okay, so I'm a girl. I'm generally a very happy and hyper person, as I am ADHD. So I don't feel emotions anymore. Only sometimes, while they used to be normal. I first noticed that when I stopped taking my adhd medication, I didn't have crushes anymore. It's been a little over a year now since my last REAL crush. While cuddling with my boyfriend, and moving ...

Hello, I'm a 19 year old male, and just recently started to think that I have some kind of psychological disorder. I haven't really taken notice of my behavior until just recently, within the last couple of months, when it seemed to become much more prevalent.

Hey all! I've just moved in with a new housemate ... well, a month ago. He's been a good friend for over a year, but he is a "Type A, deal with everything on the spot" type. I need time to mull things over and process.

Hi Everyone,
I have just been diagnosed with ADHD inattentive type and prescribed Concerta. This is my second day taking it 18mg, and it makes me feel slightly drowsy. Has anyone else had that side effect?

Thanks,

I've posted in here a bit before, but I'm really trying to nail down what's going on up in my dome before I go to the Psychologist and ask him to fix it. Here's a basic overview of what's going on:

- general lack of motivation
- self confidence and self esteem is a bit lacking sometimes
- nearly constant 'brain fog'
- sometimes is physically feels like a rubber band is stretched around my ...
