Also, is there any kind of link between having more adhd symptoms if you have vitimin defincienies (like hypokalemia (low potassium), or dehydration, or low magnessium, or anemia?)?

Also as an update from my last post on here, I been able to atleast get a few lists made on steps i need to take to get things done. And I'm able to get things like this posted up without coming out all incoherant and things. And I have missed how i used to be able to multi task, and couldn't do so well when i was on meds. Well.. as we speak right now. I'm watching tv, typing this. listening to music. and IM'ing (along with lots of tabs that are open on my browser. lol) It's a cluttered mess, but I'm occupied. lol!
I have ADHD, and I got all manic when I was on Prednisone. My doctor told me that Prednisone can do that even if you don't have mental health problems of any kind.

I do not multitask very effectively. Usually I get nothing of import done when I'm in a state such as you are now.
Thanks for this!
