I don't think I have ADD, but I do have symptoms like it (like problems focusing, mind racing, impatience, feeling like a motor is running full speed in me, going fast, talking, walking and writing fast, squirming in seat, and others) , which is why I asked my psydoc if I could try a med for ADD and see if it helped. She put me on 36 mg of Concerta and I had a very bad reaction to it, it felt like my heart was going to explode, and I stopped taking it. Maybe the starting dose was too high.
A psychiatrist told me I had mania and bipolar disorder because when I talked to her I rambled on and made no sense, I couldn't hold a conversation with anyone, my mind was going all over the place, and other symtoms that she interpreted as mania symptoms. Yes, I think my anxiety does go away, and I think it's more fun, but my symptoms are like ADD-like symptoms.
I'm going to look into therapy for my anxiety.Thank you,
Lisa
