I hope your new med helps you. If you are both depressed and adhd, they feed off each other.

I have always been depressed and somewhat anxious. I have mood swings kind of, so I always wondered if it was more. When it got so bad I couldn't take it, I went and begged for help because the antidepressant wasn't enough. I thought maybe I had bipolar. I'm never manic, but I am moody. After much testing they said I had adhd. I did not believe it because I didn't know adults could have it. I went to another psychologist and was again diagnosed. This was through a combination of them talking to me about my life, and tests, and I had to bring a thing for my husband to fill out, and then another for a friend, asking questions about my behaviors.

At a normal dose, you will not particularly feel the medication, but you just can sit still and finish things better, and other people will notice.

These are my symptoms as an adult female with combined adhd (showing both hyperactive and inattentive symptoms):
Can't sit still, always wiggling or tapping or messing with something. Up and down.
Constantly saying weird random things. Cannot hold a train of thought. Forget what I am saying. Forget what I am supposed to do.
Constantly misplacing or losing things.
Multiple unfinished projects. Lose interest.
Anything new gets my attention.
Lose track of time, or underestimate time needed for a task.
Messy.
Forgetful.
Avoidant.
Irritable.
Goofy.
Just unable to get my act together. I started and quit college multiple times.
When I was younger, before I married, I was somewhat promiscuous, had a tendency for drug abuse, and was pretty irresponsible. Upon marriage/kids/family, I settled down, and have always been a faithful wife and maintained the same job. When I was young I was a party girl and a wild child.
I never know when to shut up, and blurt out dumb things.
