About a week ago I noticed, I often read discussions about hyperactivity associated with ADHD-Primarily Hyperactive/Impulsive and ADHD-Combined.
But rarely do I read about hypoactivity associated with ADHD-Primarily Inattentive and ADHD-Combined? Quote:

I'm sorry I don't know anything about this.
 But I just thought I would mention that I checked to see if I could find something in PsychCentral's archives regarding the link between hypo activity & ADHD. I, at least, could not. Hopefully some other members, here on PC, will have some thoughts they can share.

Thanks I never thought of searching the forums for the term “Hypoactive/Hypoactivity”, and I did find some members posts, in other older threads from this ADD/ADHD section. I replied to two members posting on the topic of Hypoactivity, so far. Thanks again. Umpulsive |

Not sure if this has anything to do with the topic but I just was started on a medication for ADHD that sedates me. Is this something like hypo?
The medication is generic Intuniv.

I do not know? I have no experience with taking Intuniv. I have read that taking ADHD medication (type of medication not specified) can cause hypoactivity. I am more ADHD-PI, (some hyperactive symptoms but not enough to for me meet criteria for ADHD-Combined diagnoses) I take methylphenidate SR, and on the medication bottle label given by the pharmacists, there is a warning that medication may cause drowsyness. (I do not think the pharmacists knows my exact ADHD diagnosis?) But I have never experienced drowsyness/hypoactivity when I take medication, even when my doctor had me try taking higher than daily recommended dosage. I was wondering if people who are more ADHD-PH/I, may be more likely to experience hypoactivity when taking medication, especially at to high of a dosage, but that only a guess? I have experienced primarily hypoactive/inattentive symptoms all my life before diagnosis and now when I do not take medication. In other words, I take medication to relieve my hypoactivity symptoms. I will ask my doctor and pharmacist. Very interesting question. Umpulsive Last edited by Umpulsive; Jan 12, 2018 at 07:26 PM. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
