Hi Everyone. Im a van driver, considering getting a CDL A license and hitting the road driving 18 wheelers. I have undiagnosed ADHD. All I take now is Gingko Biloba and Ginseng supplements. 1 of each pills daily. My question: Are there any CDL A truck drivers here on psychcentral who could share your experience of drving with controlled/uncontrolled (unmedicated) ADHD?

Hi Eagleskydiver
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Perhaps your concerns about ADHD are best looked at by a mental health professional in order for a diagnosis, if any, and then you can have meds tailored to suit your needs. I say this merely because one has a responsibility as a truck driver not only for their own safety and wellbeing but for the safety of other road users too. You wouldn't want to land up in a situation where something happens, which could have been avoided, had you received the appropriate treatment. Take care of yourself. |

Undiagnosed ADHD? Are you saying you've never had a doctor diagnose you, so you only think you have ADHD? Please refrain from diagnosing yourself. Talk to a doctor, but also be aware many doctors over-diagnose these days, I could literally go in there saying I have anything and they would agree with me, depending on the doctor.
Anyway...just be careful with that.

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