I feel like a zombie..not a joke?!


Question: I feel like a zombie..not a joke?
Okay well I am 18 and I have ADD and im taking this medication but I don't know why I feel this way. I tend to have bad short term Memory like I set my phone done then two min later I will have no idea where I put it. Another thing is I still get distracted kinda easy even though my medication should stop that from happening. Next sometimes when people are talking to me like my teacher ill try really hard to focus on what hes saying but the information wont stay in my head its like its goes through one ear and out the other. Last of all I go into this zombie mode when im doing something my mind will be totally somewhere else and then all of a sudden ill come back to reality and realize what im doing like for example putting my close away. Why do I feel like this? could it be my medication? My doctor said I need more sleep so I take melatonin which helps but I still feel like this why? Thanks!

Answers:

I am not a doctorso I can't say for certain that it is the medication although I would think that would be a contributing factor. Also part of this is completely normal. If you do tasks that you don't find challenging or entertaining you will let your mind wander. I was taking my ACT and for the first 10 min on a section I just couldn't concentrate. You will have things like this happen normally. Because of your ADD you are probably more prone to this state and slip into it more often than others. I myself have had the same feeling in classes I didn't find enjoyable or challenging. I would daydream and come back in 10 min wondering what we were doing. Don't worry about this that much. I would suggest that if you have more problems with it discuss it with your doctor to see what you can do. Best of luck and remember that being a zombie isnt all bad.
