My wife Lisa, aka 'Weence", thinks that I might have ADD. She's a first grade teacher so she can tell when these kids didn't take thier chill tab and sends them straight to the nurse. So anyway, I went to get checked out actually hoping that I might have something. If I can take a pill every day to help me focus and be more productive, maybe I can double my income! It's tough being self employed and try to suport a family, especialy being a surfer as everyone knows, and have symptoms of ADD. The Doc also gave me a list of symptoms for "Mania" and "Hypomania" which share some of the same symptoms as ADD. A lot of those "creative artist type" people actually have HYPOMANIA. Sounds cool huh? Some of the symptoms include: (1) elevated, irritable or expansive mood, (2) decreased need for sleep, (3) flight of ideas and racing thoughts, (4) easy distractibility, (5) increase in goal-oriented activities, (6) increase in pleasure-seeking and risk-taking activities like spending sprees, speeding, gambling, get-rich-quick schemes and hypersexual activities. Sooo....some people might think they have ADD when they really have "Mania" or "Hypomania" which may require different meds than ADD. We'll see what I have if anything...... Give me a call if anyone wants to talk. This is all new to me too. (858) 452-TIKI Maybe we can have a surf-therapy session. http://www.fallingcocos.com [ Edited by: MEAN GENE on 2005-01-06 14:22 ]
