Hi, I'm 14, almost 15. I take a generic version of Zoloft and Vyvanse. I used to be very happy, and healthy. I was diagnosed with ADD in like 3rd grade. But now that I'm older I'm starting to feel like it's no longer ADD/ADHD. My doctor thought it was OCD. I used to feel like I had OCD, but not anymore. My symptoms for the past 2 years have been: Trembling/shaking hands ALLL the time, and they shake alot, it's very noticable, I also don't like talking to boys that I like, or boys that like me. I just am afraid I look gross or something. I have braces and am pretty self concious about it. I also fear that one of my friends might say something about me/to me in front of a guy I like and then the guy I like would think I'm weird or something. I also have alot of trouble relaxing. I can't tell you the last time I actually "relaxed." Has anyone experienced these symptoms too? If yes, please help! If you havn't experienced these symptoms please just give me some advice! Thanks!

Oh, yes I have. I'm 17 and a high school junior. I have really bad social anxiety, to the point where my worry occupies nearly every single moment I'm in school. My hands used to tremble really badly, and I'd actually sweat a lot just from being so nervous. Do you have a therapist? My anxiety started when I was 11 and I didn't start seeing a counselor until I was 14. It's still there and still pretty bad, but at least I have the comfort that comes from knowing I've got someone on my side...someone who knows about it. Even that can make a world of difference.

Hope this helps.....keep talking if it helps. xx
