I only started taking ADD medication in my late twenties,even though I was diagnosed when I was a child. There was a fear in my family about taking ADD medication. I've managed to do quite well without, but only with a tremendous amount of effort and persistence. Now that I'm doing a masters degree, working efficiently and time management is an issue. I've been taking medication for two months now, and I've noticed a huge difference, not only in school, but in many aspects of my life.
yeah, sure. meds... why not? I mean, let's face it, everybody is self-medicating in some way. Coffee, sex, internet pr0n, hobbies, FOOD, whatever. it's all about getting some kind of high, or finding some escape, or trying to fix some problem, even if you're not consciously aware you're doing it. At least the people who take meds are being somewhat honest with themselves, and are aware of what is going on.
Nalts you are awesome! Meds help me alot and I think the reason you see so many negative comments about them is probably because those who have negative side - effects are more inclined to talk about it. Only side - effect I have is loss of appetite.
The secret though :/ Positive thinking sounds like religion for people who are too smart for religion. But I may be wrong :) Positive thinking never hurt anybody, except when it's gets in the way of realistic thinking.
The idea of a grown up man on youtube, encouraging all of the kids, teens, and adults that have ADHD that you can be different, and still make a difference, is really awesome! I love you nalts!!!!! =D
i have adhd and i dont take medication anymore. medication is horrible. the pill bottles are so easy to lose and then my mom gets frusturated because i dont follow the routine her and i and my doctor agreed on regarding the pill bottles. and sometimes the pill would get stuck in my throat and i would keep drinking water but that never worked. and sometimes i forget to call in a refill and i have to wait for the mail to get here. it sucks. thats why im against any form of medication.
And revolvergfc, that is so uncool saying that. The retard in this coversation is you my friend for saying that about ADHD, someting which alot of us have had to struggle with through school with.
Just to carify on some comments about ADHD making you retarded. This is entirely untrue. Most ADHD people are much smarter, but the issue is being able to use it. There are a couple of things that could "unlock" the door, one being meds.
Just wanted to make things clear.
P.s. This was a challenge to type as I have ADHD. And I can say alot more but I can't be botherd
i have ADHD and im retarded. i dont think the ADHD made me retarded. i think my retardation gave me ADHD. but i dont take medication anymore because i lost my pill bottle last week and i dont want to drive to the doctor's office to get another prescription.
Wow dude ADD/ADHD is just a fake fuckin' disorder that is used to boost the medical system. Look how many of you supposedly have this, how about instead of calming you "ADD" you pick up a pencil and transfer your "tick" into a picture, fuck. There's nothing wrong with you.
I never said autism wasn't real. And I never said anything about physical signs. Me and my brother both supposedly had ADD/ADHD through our school years. They had me on and off medications, and they were all crap. All that's happening now is American children are being raised like zombies seeing as how once they show the slightest bit of imagination or the littlest bit of excitement they are thrown on medications they take that all away. Taking that adderall in the morning is only hurting.
adderall is banned here, you can get ritalin, but it is not easy
I really am happy now i got diagnosed, i understand why i cant sit still for a second, why i failed everything when i wanted to pass.. I dont know how ppl in the USA show slight imagination and get labeled. But I showed serious uncontrollable symptoms, that only became ADHD when there was no other alternative.
It works really good because all my grades in school went up 2 letter grades or more, but the only bad part is the side effects, i get mad so easily. I have one question, make that two,
1: how long does it take for the side effects to go away?
and
2: Does this medication really work in the long run?
If you could answer these question, that'd be great... But if you don't i understand because u have to read all those pm's.
thanks i relly needed to sleep it was so boring that i almost fell a sleep but 1 of my friends has ADHD and he mess all the time on class and nonebody cant concertrate at all and he wants all the time attension if we dont notice him he starts hitting ass and kicking to get noticed se he is almost all the time somekinda paper on his nose cos we kick his ass all the time hos he starts to hit us and he is anoying
I have ADHD..And the medicine solves a little but it is to addicting. I have been on it for 12 years and when I tried to get off it slowly I ended up in hospitial. I only take it for school and work now. If I do not take it for school I fail school, but I can ace school if I have it. Sitting still is the hardest. I usually carry a ball of strings to play with and fidget with. Living with ADHD can be tough, but actually can come to a advantage, for example how close you pay attention to details
BTW anyone else here on these new meds called Vyvance? I was just recently diagnosed with ADD back in January and these are the first meds i've been on. Anyway, be nice when you respond, im bad with criticism, just like probably many here are, lol.
lol, sorry man, I got add to and i keep paying attention to the damn comments underneath. Bleh, I'm gonna watch this two more times until I make it through it without distractions.
OMG you are seriously my twin! I love you!!! ADD kicks ass.... of course it took me 20 years to accept that idea! I actually became a certified ADD coach. All the "anti-ADD" people out there should be locked in a room with 20 true ADDers for a day and see what happens! LOL!
sry accidentally posted b4 i finished anyway, is it just me or have others noticed this to? most of the people who r against the medication and think ADHD dosent exist andis just a lable don't acctually have ADHD? cuz it really can help. but alot of people wouldnt know that if they dont have experience with medications like that.
Knowing your sensitivity to criticism... Isn't nice that you can take a pill that reduces the amount of criticism dolled out by others?
Glad the medication helps. Perhaps some day society will be able to genetically engineer people they are tolerant of, and we won't have to put up with anyone different and uncontrollable.
If you take the blue pill, the story ends and you will wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. If you take the red pill, you will stay in wonderland...and I will show you how deep the rabbit hole goes!
I agree with you about taking meds - your analogy about being thirsty - but I think a lot of people are wary about meds for adhd and depression especially because it seems to be overdiagnosed. But yes, people who need them should really take them.
I was on several different depression medications for awhile, and even though they didn't work out for me long term (my body adapted to them too quickly), their temporary effect gave me the relief I needed during the worst times to enact change in myself and my outlook that I needed to deal with the disease fairly well on my own. It took me a long time to accept the idea of taking it, but I'm glad I did and now I see it the same way you do.
I had the same experience - relief through anti-depressants and then a fairly quick adaptation to them. I still have hesitations and concerns about the idea that I need them forever.
Medication works for some, but not for all. I found that while it makes me concentrate, it alters my personality and makes me depressed. There are other solutions. Everyone is different.
People with ADHD do NOT have to be medicated. It should only be used as a last resort. You don't have to view it as some sort of handicap. It actually has its advantages. Some don't even consider it a disorder, simply a different way of thinking.
I wasn't trying to be mean. I have a family member w/ ADHD and he spent years having to take medication, or struggle every day at school. He's since learn to handle things more on his own. My point was that when people need meds, others shouldn't look down on them (or their payrents) for having to take them.
No harm done. I didn't think you were being mean, I just wanted to express the other point of view. People should do what they have to do to function.
Your movies rock, Nalts. I've really never seen one where I thought it sucked. As a matter of fact, you're a big part of why I finally got a video camera in the first place.
this was better than the actual adhd video, i think.
I wouldn't have thought you had adhd. I always thought you were some crazy genious. :D (And i still think you are, but now i probably know the reason for that haha)
i never new that you have adhd. like i no that your a bit absed with funny stuff but i didnt no. one of my friends at school has adhd and its hard getting along with her but she can be nice. its really hard gettting along with her, 'cos one minute ill be talking to her then she will just walk away and start laughing at a pigion. and ill be like 'wtf r u listening to me'
I too take Adderall. Up until my freshman year of high school it was undiagnosed, Glad that you also shared your opinion on it. A lot of people (like my horrible history teacher who constantly makes ADD jokes) just make jokes and diminish the fact that people do actually struggle with it.
I've had adverse reactions to some medications, so I tend to look for alternatives and use regular medicine as a last resort but I'm not against anything that anybody says works for them though I think where the personality is affected by a condition cognitive therapies do the most good. Jeez ... that's a really long sentence, huh?
3 videos in a row on ADHD! Are my voice mails really that bad that you feel the need to make not 1, not 2, but 3 videos on ADHD?! It's not my fault that during the last message I left I was distracted by a pimp beating up his hoe.
Did you manage to write all of this in one sitting? I could only read the first half. I'll have to read the rest tomorrow. My cat just puked up a hairball. Oh look! A spider!
Hey The only reason my Ex is my Ex is because he stopped taking his meds every time he felt an improvement coz he thought he was healed. I loved so many of his ADHD ways actually. I think meds are a big part of it and the rest is support and understanding...... Thanks for the Sub!!!!! Mwaahhhhhhh You RAWK!!! Squish Charlie for me! = )
I don't like the idea of medicating. I think that people should try to work their problems out without the use of drugs. However, medication obviously does help people so for someone to say never to use meds doesn't make sense to me. Placebos have helped, like you said.
You mentioned The Secret. I've seen a bit of the film version but haven't read the book. You should check out NLP, if you haven't already. A good book to start with is 'Introducing NLP' by Joseph O'Connor and John Seymour.
I have it..don't need drugs to hinder my creativity....and if you read more up on it..it could mean you just have a higher IQ. Go see Mr. Saftey videos from way back lol..OH LOOK GEESE!
That fart sounded like a real stinker Nalts. Hey, great video. My step brother has ADD, he doesn't medicate, its on the extreme end of the scale. Not sure if I have it, I have a short attention span, I can't seem to
I'm one of those who refuse to take medication unless I absolutely have to. The scary thing is.... when I do take medication, It has almost no effect on me. I was once given enough meds to knock out a horse and my doctor refused to believe that I took them when I said they didn't work. He started getting angry, and it was hilarious.
Seriously here. You suffer from ADHD? My daughter was recently diagnosed with it and she also is on Adorol. I see major changes in her, all for the good
Thank you Nalts. This video was very heartfelt. Glad you can use positive thinking, exercise and medication to help you produce. All I know, is keep em coming. I live for Nalts and The Baby Eaters. Love ya. SmileyD
It annoys me to no end when people say there is no such thing as ADHD or that you shouldn't medicate an ADHD child. To those people I say this: Try living in my shoes for one weekend with my kid without his meds. I dare you. You'll run screaming out of the house by Saturday night.
P.S. Nalts, the only reason you're getting away with mentioning the secret yet another time without me razzing you is because that was an awesome fart. I wish I could fart like that. I have fart envy.
I can fart with the best of them. It's stopped phasing the kids. You're not big on The Secret? It's a little cheesy but I like the message that we can control our lives through positive thinking. Amen on the ADHD child thing. Don't judge until you walk a mile in someone's stained underwear.
Yeah I'm pro-meds and completely agree with your thirst analogy. I stopped taking my anti-OCD/anti-anxiety meds because of hypertension and yeah, I'm a wreck. I don't understand why people are so against meds though. If it helps you live a better life why wouldn't you take them???
My perspective is that people obsess on the side effects but often the core issue is the naive belief that "you should do it without meds." Like it's some badge of courage. Imagine if I said, "you shouldn't need hypertension meds to feel well." Silly, huh?
Thank you Kevin. I just recently became aware of Adult female ADD. Its different to male ADD and ADHD. i was going to do a video so i am glad you did one first.
In females its often misdiagnosed as the symptoms vary from men. A lot of female ADD is recognised when a women has kids. Its often just seen as depression when there is a ADD Diagnosis there. just a few weeks ago i was made aware that this is something i may have. reading into it i fit the bill. In the UK and with women its not that commonly known about. I have had to research into it myself & most of that info is coming from USA.
I'm glad you're helping him treat. With meds and counseling, folks can be better than normal. I'm amazed at how someone can turn around even when things appear hopeless, and I hope that for your son. That's a tough period. Life gets better after 14!
My oldest son had ADD with hyperactivity. He was on ritalin for most of his childhood. The doctor allowed me to wean him off of it when he started high school. He graduated, and joined the Army National Guard Reserves....he was with them for 8 years, did one term, 18 months in Iraq. These kids are so special, and the majority of them are gifted. This explains Nalts' genious!
I only started taking ADD medication in my late twenties,even though I was diagnosed when I was a child. There was a fear in my family about taking ADD medication. I've managed to do quite well without, but only with a tremendous amount of effort and persistence. Now that I'm doing a masters degree, working efficiently and time management is an issue. I've been taking medication for two months now, and I've noticed a huge difference, not only in school, but in many aspects of my life.

Your movies rock, Nalts. I've really never seen one where I thought it sucked. As a matter of fact, you're a big part of why I finally got a video camera in the first place.
Peace out, dude!

I too take Adderall. Up until my freshman year of high school it was undiagnosed, Glad that you also shared your opinion on it. A lot of people (like my horrible history teacher who constantly makes ADD jokes) just make jokes and diminish the fact that people do actually struggle with it.

I've had adverse reactions to some medications, so I tend to look for alternatives and use regular medicine as a last resort but I'm not against anything that anybody says works for them though I think where the personality is affected by a condition cognitive therapies do the most good. Jeez ... that's a really long sentence, huh?

3 videos in a row on ADHD! Are my voice mails really that bad that you feel the need to make not 1, not 2, but 3 videos on ADHD?! It's not my fault that during the last message I left I was distracted by a pimp beating up his hoe.

Hey The only reason my Ex is my Ex is because he stopped taking his meds every time he felt an improvement coz he thought he was healed. I loved so many of his ADHD ways actually.

I don't like the idea of medicating. I think that people should try to work their problems out without the use of drugs. However, medication obviously does help people so for someone to say never to use meds doesn't make sense to me. Placebos have helped, like you said.
You mentioned The Secret. I've seen a bit of the film version but haven't read the book. You should check out NLP, if you haven't already. A good book to start with is 'Introducing NLP' by Joseph O'Connor and John Seymour.

I'm one of those who refuse to take medication unless I absolutely have to. The scary thing is.... when I do take medication, It has almost no effect on me. I was once given enough meds to knock out a horse and my doctor refused to believe that I took them when I said they didn't work. He started getting angry, and it was hilarious.

It annoys me to no end when people say there is no such thing as ADHD or that you shouldn't medicate an ADHD child. To those people I say this: Try living in my shoes for one weekend with my kid without his meds. I dare you. You'll run screaming out of the house by Saturday night.
P.S. Nalts, the only reason you're getting away with mentioning the secret yet another time without me razzing you is because that was an awesome fart. I wish I could fart like that. I have fart envy.

I can fart with the best of them. It's stopped phasing the kids. You're not big on The Secret? It's a little cheesy but I like the message that we can control our lives through positive thinking. Amen on the ADHD child thing. Don't judge until you walk a mile in someone's stained underwear.

Yeah I'm pro-meds and completely agree with your thirst analogy. I stopped taking my anti-OCD/anti-anxiety meds because of hypertension and yeah, I'm a wreck. I don't understand why people are so against meds though. If it helps you live a better life why wouldn't you take them???
AlyssaJeane 4 years ago
My perspective is that people obsess on the side effects but often the core issue is the naive belief that "you should do it without meds." Like it's some badge of courage. Imagine if I said, "you shouldn't need hypertension meds to feel well." Silly, huh?

Really? I've never heard about it. What's unique about it?
nalts 4 years ago
In females its often misdiagnosed as the symptoms vary from men. A lot of female ADD is recognised when a women has kids. Its often just seen as depression when there is a ADD Diagnosis there. just a few weeks ago i was made aware that this is something i may have. reading into it i fit the bill. In the UK and with women its not that commonly known about. I have had to research into it myself & most of that info is coming from USA.

My 14 yr old son has ADHD and depression w/ anxiety. He also takes adderall along w/ dep.
meds. It's a difficult thing to deal with, for
the whole family. But, it's nice to see successful people who have the condition. I've
seen a couple other successful people on YT who deal with it and show the positive side.
Thanks, Nalts. :)

I'm glad you're helping him treat. With meds and counseling, folks can be better than normal. I'm amazed at how someone can turn around even when things appear hopeless, and I hope that for your son. That's a tough period. Life gets better after 14!

My oldest son had ADD with hyperactivity. He was on ritalin for most of his childhood. The doctor allowed me to wean him off of it when he started high school. He graduated, and joined the Army National Guard Reserves....he was with them for 8 years, did one term, 18 months in Iraq. These kids are so special, and the majority of them are gifted. This explains Nalts' genious!
