A.D.D. Problems?!
Question: Paying attention is class is very hard. I wander off and then I get lost and it screws my school work. I work on homework for 5 hours every night because I struggle. I get frusterated and upset. It really hurts when my mom walks into my room and see's me having a hard time. She trys to be nice to me and trys to take me out to have fun but I never want to go. I'd do anything to see her proud of me. I try to blend into the crowd and look normal but when Im alone I break out crying. When Im with my friends I just act like Im the usual "happy me". I have a doctors appointment for next week to get help. Im worried that the doctor wont take me seriously and wont give me medication to fix me. If I get the medication Im going to turn everything arround, I wont waste time with TV and junk. I want to read but I wonder off and read the words without putting them together. Im going to show my mom that Im something. Do you think that the doctor will give me medication?

I have the same problem. Everything you said is true for mee too. I have ADHD and it takes me eaight to eleven hours each night. I try really hard but its not working. It depends which type of doctor you go to. Some type of doctors cant prescribe medication. The medication wont fix you but will make it a little easier and make the symptoms less noticable.
yeah because i had a.d.d. and they gave me medication
you should love who you are and just except it. i do think the doctor is going to give you ADD medication but i think being smart is using your own brain power not a medication prescribed by the doctor
If you seriously have a condition they will.
What is A.D.D means?
Do you REALLY SERIOSLY Wan help?
Its going to take a alot of work but the benefits are:
~Behavioral and Concentration Improvements
~Health Benefits
~Even if your're lucky Reduce or eliminate your A.D.D!

It could possibly. Also trying to focus on your own could help too. I have A.D.D also but i have a small case of it. My A.d.d is so small I could not get med for it, when my doctor gave me the lowest prescription of it all did was make me sleepy. But i still sometimes daydream especially in school. But some hoe i learn how to turn my a.d.d on and off by myself, I don't know how i did.
I hope the doctors can help you, i can tell it means a lot too you. Your mom is lucky to have a child like you.
Yes, I'm sure they will give you medication, but remember to ask them about the side-effects!
Some of the medication can cause such depression that people actually think about suicide.
So, please be careful what you take and if you get to feeling really down after you start it, call your doctor right away and tell him!!
i had the same problem until i got stretera. (not sure how u spell it) it makes me drousy so i take it at night, and that works great if you have trouble falling asleep. the only problem it had was that it took 1 to 2 months to start working.
the doctor should give your teachers a form on how you pay attention and if its low enough you should get get a.d.d. medicine.
ps it probably will affect your appetite a little
A.D.D medication will help you concentrate, but it won't motivate you. That's not how it works. It also won't teach you good study habits. However, being able to concentrate should relieve your frustrations, and hopefully that itself will be motivating.
Also, you may have to try several different meds at different doses to see what woks best for you, so be patient, and don't expect everything to change overnight.
I got the same dame problem! i have ADHD!
Aww im sorry i know how you feel! =(
Im on Zoloft, Concerta, and, Depakote! Im 13 i dont want to live this way taking pills and struggling in class, crying, going to the doctors!
Print ur qestion out give it to you doctor!
actually im in the exact situtation as u, i totaly hear u though. i want meds so bad but i dont think my dad will let me, i get staright F's and hoping the doc. will give me meds. but i think u should tell ur doctor all the symptoms u have. But by what u said it doesnt really sound like add cuz u can study for 5 hours. ha i would have jumped out a window by then, but if u really want meds exagerate cuz if u really want them and make ur life better, u deserve them.
Just pay attention. No medication can make you pay more attention than you're willing to. Attention is something you're going to have to cultivate.
You can get help at school for the struggling. There are programs for people with ADD in school, I suggest you and your parents have a talk with the school about how to get you more assistance.
You don't want to get medication unless you have an extremely serious problem. You need to try other things before taking a pill and I will tell you why. Please hear this, I know of two men, started to take meds in high school for their ADD/ADHD and it made them have other problems.
Get the book The ADD Book by Sears and Thompson, read it with your parents, it's very good, will give you alternatives to meds.
ummm Try in Hight school they had this class that has specials Classes that helps you in its called O.C.S its Occupational Course of Study try seeing if ur school has that programs!!
