I have ADHD and yes, I'm on medicine for it. I take Adderall XR every morning before school, but I'm unsure if it's really working for me. Sometimes it does, but other times it doesn't. And lately, my ADHD has been getting worse by the day, especially in my all-mainstream student history class. So far, I've been kicked out of history class about twice this week for disruptive behavior and that's not fair because I can't help it. My teacher knows about my personal IEP but still he kicks me out of class whenever I get hyper or hard to handle. I know the other students think I'm weird, but I guess that's not going to make me stop the hyper behaviors. I've been undergoing a large amount of stressful transitions lately. And often, when I get stressed or anxious, my ADHD behaviors start acting up and can get worse than normal. But since I'm so stressed, it's a bit more difficult for me to control my behavior in class. I guess I really do need my meds at this point. Usually, I do have control over most of my behaviors when I'm feeling normal. The abnormal behaviors include laughing about off-topic things and saying peoples' names and other details because I think they're funny. It's also difficult because most of the other students in history class have ADHD or learning disabilities and they often encourage me to disrupt the class. I do know better than to be fooled by them, but it's hard for me to control. And I've been told I'm very impressionable and others' behavior can influence me sometimes. What do you think I should do? I'm stuck and can't stop the hyperactivity! Serious answers only, please. Thanks

I have, ADD and ADHA and Bipolar, and other stuff. I don't take medicines at the moment. But when I was on them, I was the same way, sometimes they helped sometimes they didn't. For almost three years I've been off my meds, and I've been doing great controlling my behaviour, but just recently my Bipolar started kicking into max gear again, so I'm gonna have to start taking meds again. If you don't think that your medicine is doing it's job, go talk to your doctor about it. Let him/her know the symptoms, and what you feel like when this is happening.
I would also recommend trying to ignore the irresponsible people in your class, as by following their examples you are ruining your own chances. I would also recomend trying to unwind before you go to school, or maybe even at nights. Espically if your having trouble sleeping. Walk a few laps around your house or something, listen to relaxing music at night, and on your way to school. And try to focus mostly on your school work instead of whats going to happen after each class and when you get home.
Another words focus on the short term and not the long term until you get more help with this issue. I hope this was of some help.

I would recommend going to your psychiatrist and asking for a dosage adjustment....or ask them for anxiety medication to help with the stress induced anxiety....

You either need to change the dose, or switch over to a different medicine like Dexedrine, Vyvanse, Concerta, or Provigil, all which are less likely to cause anxiety.

Hey Shans Try taking breaks from your Adderall XR at the weekend. It sounds like you are builiding a tollerance to your medication. Also, buy magnesium tablets... and take 100-200mg's of magnesium a day. This will prevent further tolerance.... and slowly reverse it in the long term. Good luck! x

A.D.D. and A.D.H.D are symptoms of your bipolar disorder. So, instead of saying you have a myriad of disorders, just say you have bipolar disorder. Do some research on it. Bipolar disorder is the most complex, and often times the most misdiagnosed, because it contains symptoms of many psychological disorders.

I think this is about the best counsel BlueEyedBrielle could receive concerning her dilemma.

An average clinical doctor can diagnose you for A.D.D. or A.D.H.D, I believe.. They simply ask you a few questions about your problematic behavior and determine whether you have a disorder based on your responses. They're generally aware of the symptoms of the disorders, though, which is why they ask you to explain your behavior.
