Anyone else on here have ADD?!
Question: Do you have any tips or resources to offer?
I think I have ADD. I just found out two days ago, but I haven't confirmed with a doctor. But so many of the signs for it make sense. I'm 22 years old and suddenly my previous life makes so much sense!
If you have ADD, what has helped you?

Medication can be very helpful to keep ADD under control I have tried a few medications. Everyone has to experiment to find out what works out best for you. You don't have to worry because your doctor with follow with your care and will help find what works best for you. I was on Vyvance, it worked great but caused bad headaches for me in the evening. Now I am on Daytrana, it is a patch. It works great but the film on the patch is sometimes hard to peal off and the medication sticks to it. I think I just got a bad lot of medication although I have heard this happened to others.
It was amazing to me as well when I was finally diagnosed, things really mad sence also. Now with medication my smyptoms have almost totally been resolved. Good luck.
I was diagnosed with ADD at age 25. They prescribed Ritalin for me, and it worked pretty darned well. They weaned me off it after 3 years, and now I feel a lot more "normal" than I did. The idea of taking medication may not sit well with you, but it does help and they have better medications now.
i've had ADD for a long time, ever since i can remember. I'm 21 now, and what really helped me was Concerta. It helped me focus more on what i was doing and helped me not get distracted as easily. But the same drug can affect people differently. It worked for me but maybe to someone else it doesn't.
