Thank you for sharing your experience with ADHD. I think I might have this and am going to talk thoroughly with my Psych next week.
I have been diagnosed with Depression and GAD for many years and am currently taking Effexor SR and Ativan when needed. I also have trouble sleeping and can take Trazadone if I want. I think medication is a part of the solution, but don't want to end up living my life around my meds. So, I rarely take the Trazadone and am fully aware of the consequences of Ativan. I use exercise, meditation, and lots of positive friends and activities to deal with my symtoms. So, if I have ADHD would they give me another medication??? Would it make my insomnia worse???
My concern with the ADHD comes from negative experiences in my last two jobs. I am college educated and pretty darn smart, but I have the hardest time focussing on certain aspects; i.e. remembering trivial info like phone numbers, scheduling appointments on the computer on the correct day, and recalling the correct order of documents in a folder. Does this sound like ADHD?
Just interested in some feedback.
