Do I have ADD? Please help with insurance and prescription.?!
Question: Do I have ADD? Please help with insurance and prescription.?
My parents don't understand this because they feel medication is wrong and I shouldnt be on it. But after moving to live on campus, studying day and night for exams...I ended up with a 2.4 gpa. I don't party, I dont watch tv. As a matter of fact I listen to lectures all the time but I just dont know why I dose off so much!
I had a friend offer me 25mg of Adderall because he says I might ADHD. Well, the pill didn't work for me at all. Then he gave me something stronger and for the first time! I was able to focus and didn't skip one word when reading my chapter! This is how I knew I had this problem.
Now, I turn to you guys. I don't have insurance. I'm not very wealthy and I know I need a strong medication. I've used fish oil, ginko balboa, 5 hr drinks, vitamins, exercise and it just doesn't do it for me? This has been a process of 2 years already and I should be graduating school next semester but Im 2 years behind now...What can I do? What should anybody recommend me? Should I resource to online prescription...?

pssshhhhh ADD is fake... its an excuse parents use for there child being a moron or a screw up.
and moron above me, who apparently has the same name as me, that is crazy unhealthy...
while i think ADD is real, it is way overblown. alot of it is about maturity and harnessing your brains ability to focus. i do tend to think that medication is the wrong way to go about it. i have found that caffeine (a cup of starbucks coffee is stronger than others) helps pretty well. alot of it is about finding a way to stay interested, focused, having a study/notetaking method that is efficient and effective
well it sounds like you might had ADD because a lot of the things that happen to you happen to me and i have ADD. So, i know it is going to sound weird by try drinking coffee like lots of coffee many cups a day or energy drinks. because thats what i do and it helps me and i was told by a doctor to do this
hope it helps :)
