In reply to recently diagnosed with adhd and need your advice, posted by sondico24 on February 21, 2008, at 13:26:55
With your experience it would be highly likely in my opinion that your adrenal glands are fried and your HPA axis is bent out of shape badly. Medications might help, probably make it worse in a few weeks or months, and load you with strange reactions as you are already experiencing. Post traumatic stress and ADHD go hand in hand with adrenals. Start there and that could be all you need. Fix the problem causing symptoms instead of muting a cluster of symptoms.
Your history as well as description of responses to meds gives distinct clues pointing in this direction.
You might seriously want to take a look stopthethyroidmadness.com and follow links to learn about adrenal burnout and related thyroid problems. Without being sure these things are solid, medicating yourself will be like trying to build a house on soggy clay. If you want more detail, hop over to the alternative board and start a new post.
