My friend Tyler is my best friend who has struggled with supposed ADHD for quite some time. He was taking Adderall (spelling?) for years and has been off of it for quite some time. I don't live with him but have noticed that he has done better off of it because on it he was very hyperactive and bizarre most of the day, prone to bizarre ideas and behavior. He is, by most accounts very much a loner and has few real friends and is kind of antisocial. The last time I saw him he had bizarre ideas about the cat I gave him and the dog, trying to make them friends and getting upset when his plans did not come into fruition.

The most concerning aspect of all was something that happened this week when we were talking through Yahoo Messenger he suddenly changed and started to talk about the devil and how he had told him to kill me, then started acting in a manner that reminded me of psychosis. He is usually occupied with his own personal fantasies and can easily think of fantastic things. He often jokes and smiles when inappropriate and gets irritated easily when someone does something he doesn't like. He's often bored and has sleep issues and can be blunt in affect or joking excessively. He then awakened from this and had no real recollection of it. I don't know what happened since then but he told me after he snapped out of it that he had some sort of a breakdown. I do not know if he was hearing voices or not.

Is this what happens in ADHD? Do medications not work, cause the afflicted to get worse and in turn the afflicted has a bizarre episode of unreality? He is seeking help from a psychiatrist and I would recommend he come here, yet if he did he would discover things about me I don't want him to, like all that I've struggled with and the notions I've toyed with. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? I'm not one for labels as you can no doubt tell from my most recent posts but this doesn't seem like ADHD. This seems like something darker and more sinister. Maybe I'm wrong and that's why I came here. I might even contact my doctor just to get a sense from him.

That's all for now...
