smoking and usage

I was wondering how one goes about getting tested for ADD or ADHD. I think I really do have it after reading over the symptons and after trying Adderall which myolder brother is prescribed, and it actually helps a lot. Do you just go to any doctor or must you visit a specialist?

Im not exactly sure what kind of doctor tests you, but i know it can get pretty expensive. up 500$.

god damn i remember when i got tested for ADD, it sucks ass. i had to stare at this grey screen and press space bar everytime a letter came up UNLESS it was an X. it went on for like 15 minutes...soooooo ruff. and the doctor guy comes over to talk to you during the last 5 minutes to try to distract you. god damn that pissed me off, all i could think of was "go away old bastard, im trying to fucking concentrate!!!!" lol, i wonder what woulda happend if i had said it. hahahah.. oh by the way, i tested positive.

i have adhd and when i take my medicine, concerta(a time released ritalin if u will) it really helps. the test did suck but i got tested when i was 7 and i tested positive. the drugs are not being used to conrol people but help them accomplish certain tasks such as homework or studying for a test without being distracted. it also controls the irrational behavior i have sometimes.

Ritalin is speed, dude. Lotsa people take it to get 'high', and people who use it for many years can die of heart faliure that goes undetected until it's too late. I'd never use it myself, ADD/HD or not. I'd just cope with everything myself. And I'd never reccomend it for anyone, especially small children.

The decision to take meds for ADD can't be an easy one.

I've never even heard of such a test. (Must be I was distracted the day they talked about it at school)

But being able to be happier in life with these drugs is an acceptable trade off for people who can't function happily because of the "disorder". (That word sounds so bad)

And it's not like all people who take it are going to die from it.

It's a personal choice.... too bad for the kiddos though who are to young to make the decision for themselves.

Hopefully their parents are intelligent about the choice to use drugs on their kids for their behavior.

I don't want to take Ritalin, too old and too many side effects. I've tried Adderall many times and I think amphetamines really do help me get my stuff done, I normally just find things to do besides my homework (sit on the couch and change the channels even when I'm not high). When I'm on it I actually can do my work, pay attention in class and write fantastic notes. And as what budburner said, I'll take a damn prescription if a little orange pill will help me do things that are important in life ie: school work not just chillin. I've read good things about desoxyn, which is prescription meth, but I don't think I'll try that... I'm almost 18 and a senior going to college, so I think I can determine what "ails" me, unlike all these 3rd graders they're prescribing. BTW: Yeah Adderalls give you a really nice buzz, but some of the side effects aren't that great, like staying up all night and having no appetite.

i take ritalin and when they tested me they just gave me some written tests to take that analyzed my ability to concentrate for different periods of time. And yes ADD can be extremely hard to deal with at times.
