I have been diagnosed for ADD and on Zoloft. I have been under a lot of stress because of the economy. What has happened is that I have trouble focusing and get a feeling that I can't function...Therefore there are a lot of wasted hours at work. Lastly I can't open my mail or check my bank account without feeling terrible anxiety.

Please help!

Hi LMR, have you been diagnosed only with ADD? Do you have a secondary diagnosis as well?

Assuming you have a therapist who has diagnosed you, I think you should tell him/her about this lack of focus, especially if it might be a side effect of the Zoloft. The therapist might want to modify your medication(s) based on what you have shared here. I encourage you to share this with your doctor. I hope you can get some relief.

I agree with boodies, you need to talk to your doctor. I hope you start feeling better.

Hi LMR, I have those problems a lot myself. I think that anxiety, depression, or ADD can cause those problems, as well as poor diet, lack of adequate sleep, dehydration. I agree with the others. Talk to your doc.
