About ADHD

Marine618 asked:


I have been recently diagnosed with adult adhd. I really need help with planning and remembering for work and personal. What would be the best planner to use and what should I have in it. Is a moleskine planner good enough for someone with adhd? I’m a family man as well as a business manager, so all of work and personal will go in.
Thanks.

I am 16 and my little cousin is 10 and my mom and I think she either has ADD or ADHD or both…?

She hardly eats, she cannot sit still to save her life, and she is constantly on the go, seldom sleeps, and her mom doesn’t want to hear us out.

What do you think?

We have a nine year old daughter that is severely ADHD. She is on two kinds of medicine- morning and evening. She started her meds a few weeks ago. What are some of the ways you deal with the problems that happen with an ADHD child? Temper tamtrums, not listening, just plain moody sometimes. Since she started taking her medicine, she really has gotten better. We still have our problems though. She goes back in a few weeks for reevaluation. My husband and I are looking for a few tips to make things a little easier. We have two other children in the house as well-3 years and 10 months. Thanks for your answers.

Does any one know the differences between the two? I have a 5 yr old that was diagnosed with ADHD and the pills are making him act more high then anything. He is only on 10mg and I was told by another mom at soccer practice a little about ODD. She said that one of her kids has it but didn’t say much about it.
So if anyone can help I would apprecate it thanks.

After ten years of medication for depression, PTSD and ADHD how do I know when I can start reducing meds? My doctor says due to my progress it is time but is up to me. I have been totally stable for several months. My doc says it is up to me what should I do? I take high doses of a lot of meds and dont want to damage my organs from high dosages of various scripts if I do not have to. Any thoughts? Please?

I watch a little boy who has ADHD and homework is always a chore. He cries and makes up non stop excuses. I have to bribe him to do it and even that doesn’t work all the time. I was just wondering if anyone has any tips that have worked on kids. Thanks!

My son has ADHD and a lot of people I know are putting me down for turning to meds. My son will not make it in school with out it. Even my mother in law has said she does not like it! I just dont know what to say to these people anymore! His doc told me this is his only chance at a normal 5 year olds life.

I’m working with a child who has ADHD and I have tried everything to help him control himself better. Does anyone have any good ideas that have worked?

I read a couple of things about ADHD, because lately, after the death of my Grandmother.

I have been increasingly getting the syptoms of ADHD.

I have suffered from some of the syptoms during my childhood, but now they are increasingly occuring.

And I am finding it really hard to listen to Teachers, follow instructions and do coursework.

And it is not because I am trying to be a “Brat”, but I find it hard to focus on things, and it really affects schoolwork.

Is it possible this was caused by the death of my grandmother?

Hi. I am working in Seoul for a month now and I am covered with national insurance. Do they have the same ADHD meds as in the US? I was showing great results on low doses of adderall, ritalin and focalin. All 3 worked great at 25 mg/day. Does anyone know if they recognise ADHD in Korea, what meds they have and how to get them? I will run out in 2 months. Thanks.
