Question: Do i have adhd or is it the meds im on?
im on 15mg lexapro for ocd..i started taking it august of 2010..even before i started taking it i was extreamly hyper, talking too much, not being able to focous, restless, & things of that nature. since i started taking it all those symptoms are the same & a few have been added such as-
-terrible memory loss
-having a really hard time reading
-insomnia(ive aucutally had this before the meds)
-being impulsive & slightly obsessive
-i get embarassed extreamly eaisly
-failing tests i acitvly study for

not many of those are common side effects of lexapro..could this be adhd or something? my math teacher asked me if i had it becuase whatevers going on in my brain is making me too distracted & distracting others. & really affecrting my accidemic life. what could this bee?

Answers:

You need to be tested to be sure, nobody can tell you like that and if you do have adhd you need a note by a psychiatrist(in U.S) saying you officially have it and giving you prescription drugs.



sound to me that you have ADHD i had it talk to you doctor and you need a combo of what you are taking and Ritalin ( METHYLPHENIDATE SUSTAINED-ACTION - ORAL) (meth-ill-FEN-eh-date)



it does not sound like adhd ... sounds like you need a different ant-depressant.



your best bet ( go to doctors and not to listen to people on yahoo. ) :D
