03-26-2005, 09:30 PM

Just curious...I think I have it...I see there is some good medication for it...

ADD is just bullshit, just another "disease" defined by the government to bank on.

just fucking do what you need to do to overcome it, it's ALL mental.

don't pollute your body with those harmful drugs.

obesity isn't a disease
not paying attention isn't a disease
gambling isn't a disease
cheating isn't a disease

the second you think that your shortcomings are a result of something uncontrollable is the moment which you allow yourself to become a mentally weaker person. everyone is concerned with doing things the easy way, taking the shortcuts in life - and it creates for a weak character.

those pills that alter your mind are not healthy, and they don't fix the problem. they will hurt you in more ways than one. get serious and just fucking do what you need to do, change what you need to change - don't think about it, don't analyze it, don't contemplate it. just do it.

Contrary to the last post, Adult ADD (or any ADD for that matter) is not "all mental" or something that you can get rid of, simply by doing "what you need to do to overcome it". ADD is a real condition, and there are real treatments available. A significant part of my studies centered around Mental Health and I did a number of research projects in the area of ADD, both for children and adults.

There are a number of stimulant (amphetamine) based treatments available. Ritalin, Dexadrine, Concerta...and so on. A newer medicine, Strattera is non-stimulant based, and was introduced in the U.S. a couple of years back, and approved in Dec 2004 in Canada, but just released for sale on March 7th.

To find out if you truly have ADD, or ADHD (the H signifies hyperactivity) go to your medical practicioner. There are a number of standardized tests that have proven to be quite accurate in predicting the "symptoms" of ADD / ADHD. If the results are conclusive that you may have this ailment, then the Dr may choose to try either a stimulant or non-stimulant treatment on you. This should be administered concurrently with cognitive treatment. (behavioral)

The beauty of stimulant treatments is that if you have ADD / ADHD, the results are noticed almost immediately. Poeple with these characteristics will experience a paradoxal effect from the stimulant medication. They will not feel euphoria or edgy or high..instead they will feel that their thoughts are much more focused..and that they will generally feel much calmer. If you do not have add / adhd....you will feel the stimulant characteristics of the amphetamines.

As I stated when I started, ADD is a real disease. For those that have it, their careers, their relationships...their lives can be profoundly effected. If you think you might have it...see your doctor. And if they do not have the background in mental health diagnostics...have them send you to a specialist who does.

Ill read something and forget what I just read.

A lot of dangerous and biased information being passed off as fact in this thread. To anyone that thinks they may have add / adhd, and it is affecting your quality of life...read my post above and see you Dr.

To those who posted in the thread, congratulations if you were able to overcome what I would expect to be minor or misdiagnosed ADD / ADHD. But, understand, ADD is not a conspiracy by the government and the nation's medical practicioners. Some people truly require treatment..and for them it can literally change their lives...if they can get past the stigma attached to treatment, presented by the well meaning, but uninformed populace, such as demonstrated in this thread.

you sound like an infommercial dude.

out of all of the medicine prescribed to people who the doctors assumably diagnose ADD / ADHD with, probably only 1% of them actually have such a condition.

sure, go see a doctor as a last measure after you have genuinely exhausted all attempts to help yourself... not simply because you *think* you might have it, or because a friend said it helped him/her.

the very large majority of those who have trouble focusing or concentrating are those who are not plagued by a "chemical imbalance" or some uncontrollable variable, they're plagued by environmental factors like how their parents raised them, mainly - which is controllable with steady effort and patience. when changing from one mentality to another, there is always a transition period where it is difficult. if you REALLY force yourself to focus, then most people will find that in time it will become more natural and easier to do - just takes some rehabilitation. not a damn pill.

what thread are you reading? what was stated prior to your post that was dangerous? seems to me that strongly advocating for the use of pills is more dangerous than trying to rely on your mind drug free.

Nope...not an info-mercial..just medically and scientifically accurate facts. Something that I understand is unheard of on this board. But is provided to you not as heresay..but, as I stated above, as the result of post graduate studies and research in this field.

I understand that this is not a board for factual information. But, in matters regarding mental health...the layman's approach is well meaning, but inaccurate, and potentially dangerous.

So, to stay in the tradition of the board, to those of you who need help...don't get it from GFY. To the rest of you...Go Fuck Yourself.

yeah and I suppose you think vaccinations actually work too, right?

if you've done your extensive "research" on it, then please give is a basic rundown. if you honestly, genuinely think for one second that the majority of people who are prescribed ADD medication actually need it, then the material you've researched is flawed and biased.

And JaceXXX..if you were truly diagnosed with ADD, then congratulation on having a case that did not need drug intervention. But people like you should really know better then to make blanket statements like you have.

To put it another way...I am sitting at my computer right now....with a slight heart murmer. So yes, I could say I have heart disease. Now suppose the father of the family in the house next door has a defective valve and needs to take heart medication. We both have "heart disease" ...but I'm certainly not going to run over next door and say..."Hey, I don't take medication for my heart disease..so you don't need it either".

Same goes for ADD ADHD...many symptoms are grouped under the titles ADD ADHD, but the symptoms and the response to drug intervention vary greatly as does the need for drug intervention.

Many of you have missed the basic point. I do not in any manner say that "ALL people who have ADD / ADHD need drug therapy". I DO SAY, just because drug treatment wasn't necessary for you, doesn't mean it isn't needed for someone else..and vise versa.

once again, attributed to environment. sitting on the computer hour after hour, day after day, year after year without little to no physical activity and/or social interaction (in the case of some geeks) will naturally develop poor health / poor social skills. but certainly not anything that can't be fixed by natural means, like uhm... exercising / eating right / joining society ;)

I like people who think people who take medication for anxiety disorders, depression and the like, are somehow "not themselves", or are "high on drugs". I take effexor to curb an anxiety disorder, and if it does anything, it makes me more myself than I could ever be if I was unable to leave my house because of an anxiety attack.

People who claim you're better off without medication to treat disorders are the same people who are unfit to be parents. "Oh my son is just a normal little boy".. never mind Jr. can't stay focused for 10 minutes, gets in trouble at school and eventually ends up stealing cars and snorting crack because his parents were too fucking ignorant to fess up he ever had a problem.

Edit: Imagine you're sitting in a closet and outside that closet are 10 werewolfs. You have nothing to protect yourself, you're naked, and the werewolfs have cought onto the scent of your blood. That's what an anxiety disorder can be like, you can be that terrified. Since I've been in a few situations where it's been that bad, I'm lucky I take medication, as it seriously lowers the 'terror' factor involved with normal every day things.

You are right...millions of people every day are dying of small pox, tuberculosus and any number of other diseases that were prevelant in the early parts of the 20th century and before. (Insert sarcasm here). Yes, overall vaccinations do work.

I know, it's a boring ol' world out there if we have to assume that there really aren't government agents and scientists cooking up the next conspiracy.

When I was a student, although you would like to think differently..we were never herded into a room and told about the "great secrets" that we would need to hide from the rest of society. Quite the contrary. Research was done not only to prove current thoughts in the medical / scientific communities but also to challenge and sometimes even disprove current beliefs.

You must live in the US, where you have to pay out of your pocket for medication. Funny how in Canada, the government aknowledges the need for medication to treat disorders, yet Canadians get reimbursed for the money they spend on meds.

Never mind 100% medical evidence, of course disorders can be easily treated by "going for a jog" or "clearing your mind".

those diseases were eradicated not because of the vaccinations, but because of improved living conditions. please link me to an article on the web, or point me to a doctor that will prove that vaccinations work, you won't find it. there is no proof what-so-ever, that vaccinations work. however there is extensive evidence / research that shows how truly detrimental vaccinations can be, PARTICULARLY childhood vaccinations.

but as I was saying, ADD / ADHD = a reality for maybe 1% of the diagnosed cases. the rest of the 99% = a simple problem of motivation and self discipline.

who are you trying to convince exactly? me or yourself?

no, the unfit parents are those who are popping every pill imaginable to their children's mouth simply because they're acting uhm... NORMAL. that's another thing, every fucking parent seems to have their children on some medication.. complete fucking GARBAGE.

Sorry...no time to respond right now. I am in the middle of a meeting with a group of my peers in a darkened room at the end of a very dark alley. We are making sure that we all are "reading from the same page" when we go back out into society and spread our cleverly fabricated web of vaccination and mental health lies.

Why would I need to convince myself? I've been convinced ever since I started taking medication, and started feeling 50x better about not only myself, but about life in general.

And what's with the exageration about the parents "popping every pill imaginable into their childrens mouth"? And acting normal? I was unaware being unable to concentrate for more than 20 seconds was normal. I was also unaware behavioural disorders were "normal". Kids who're normal goto school, learn something new, act like you'd expect a kid to act, and aren't annoying to be around. Kids who're not normal goto school, get in trouble because they talk to much, dont learn a thing because they cant concentrate, and are insanely annoying to be around because of hyperactivity.

no, fortunately i'm one of the few left who hasn't polluted their brain with a barrage of pills, therefore i'm able to see these things with a bit of logic and sense.

My brain is polluted? Funny I feel compeltely fine. Infact, I feel pretty good today, a far reach from four or five years ago when I would sleep all day and wish I'd never been born because I could barely leave the house. Now I go out lots, I have friends, I enjoy life, unlike before.

Not meaning to preach..but this is a very bad idea. If you do indeed have ADD / ADHD which requires drug intervention...you may be insuring that you WILL NOT get treated. You have already shown the first major warning sign...you have the potential for drug misuse and abuse. This will insure that any medical professional will be very reluctant to provide you with any drug that may have abuse potential.

And what's with the exageration about the parents "popping every pill imaginable into their childrens mouth"? And acting normal? I was unaware being unable to concentrate for more than 20 seconds was normal. I was also unaware behavioural disorders were "normal". Kids who're normal goto school, learn something new, act like you'd expect a kid to act, and aren't annoying to be around. Kids who're not normal goto school, get in trouble because they talk to much, dont learn a thing because they cant concentrate, and are insanely annoying to be around because of hyperactivity.

yes, and i'm willing to bet 90-99% of the children who are like that, are like that as a result of poor parenting. not everything can be attributed to chemical imbalances, a large majority of the pscychological problems children face is a direct result of poor parenting (in this day n' age, in this sick n' twisted society we live in, poor parenting is rampant). now granted, there ARE genuine cases, but they are few n' far between the amount that doc's would have you believe.

So you're saying there's that many poor parents? When I was 11 or 12, my parents could have threatened to do anything to get me out of the house. I wouldn't have budged. The majority of the parents out there love their kids and do what they think is best for their child. There are bad apples here and there, but for the most part, a parent puts the well being of their child over their own well being.

i never said you directly. as for anxiety disorders, both my father / sister have had panic attacks. but the episodes were short lived as they were informed by a doc to simply alleviate as much stress as possible. if in your particular case you had them frequently regardless of natural attempts to rid them, sure take what ya need.

the problem i have is with people who look directly to drugs as a solution (a temporary solution at that) without examining their lifestyle and attempting to make changes - this can be observed with people who have so called obesity, depression, anxiety, gambling, cheating, ADD disorders/diseases.

1) I dont wanna pay for a shrink to tell me
2) I dont wanna pay for drugs if they dont work, since I got hooked up with these free
3) I'm probably bipolar, and I've read too much about the drugs associated with it, and the last time I saw a shrink (which wasnt by choice :-\ ) she wanted me on those instead

so you can guess why I would do this.

Wow...you really are prone to blanket statements, aren't you. And thanks for all the warnings.

Next time I sit down for supper with my parents, grandparents, friends and family, I'm going to keep one eye on my food and one eye on everyone around me. I didn't know that they were sick and twisted..but apparently they are..as they are part of society. So don't you try anything Grannie...I've been warned and I have my eye on you...

But gotta run again..me and the docs are going back into our secret room...concocting our next batch of lies to spread to all you sick and twisted society types. Just you wait....

every parent loves their children. but many are very dense and have a total assbackwards idea of how to raise them. SPANK your child if they're disobediant, show STRENGTH, don't be their friend, be their PARENT - set rules, boundries... but also show love and affection. most parents fall too much on either side, when you need to impliment a mix of both discipline and love. those that abuse their children, or don't discipline them at all, are usually the parents of the children you're referring to.

so you can guess why I would do this.

I understand..but please also understand...many of the drugs, including Adderall and Adderall XR can be potentially very dangerous for people with bipolar. They can cause mania, seizures or a serious depressive episode.

Plus, Adderall is metabolized by the p450 enzyme. Many antidepressants and mood stabalizers are also metabolized by this same enzyme. The result...one drug may effectively cancel out the effect of another drug..or can cause the opposite...a very dangerous multiplying of the toxicity of the medications...greatly increasing side effects. (Although you didn't say if you were on any other medications).

Most people don't realize this, but your doctor or pharmasist has taken extensive training to ensure that contradicting medicines are not co-administered. Granted, mistakes are made...but to make a long story short...if you do have bipolar, you have a whole need world of potential dangers to contend with. Your health is worth it..talk to a doctor.
