ADHD or ADD?
Answer:
Sounds more like a problem with the adrenal glands which would account for the surge of adrenaline. I have a pituitary problem and they gave me a real simple test to check that my adrenal glands were working properly. I'd get that checked out before thinking ADD etc.
I don't believe in either sorry..
Maybe you DO need to moove a little more, try talking a walk, roller-bladding, etc.
Were you drinking coffee? lol
I doubt it is ADD or ADHD because these are usually found out early on (and I don't completely agree that they are "real" disorders)...what you have sounds more like RLS to me.
i think it's neither. have you been tested for anxiety? it causes attacks like that.
I have Bipolar
I have had similar things like that in the past, although not in the past year or so.
For me, its important that the adrenaline rush slows and that I get some sleep or maybe then I spin out, sort of like what you describe.
I have and take pills for that if I even think I might need em.
ADHD and ADD are usually a lot more subtle than that, their effect is more chronic than acute. There are many reasons why you experienced what you did, the best thing you can do is to go see a doctor.
Its happened to my once or twice. Well, what happened to me was temporaily. It shouldn't be ADD or ADHD. ADD and ADHD means you can't concentrate. For example, if you were in class and you are learning math, you might feel abnormal and start walking around. Try fidgeting to get it out of your system. Wait, it might be a spaz attack. Have you been under stress a lot lately?
I think it is ADHD because sometimes i have the same feeling 2
I have ADD and ADHD. Those with the disorder, including myself, do not get "attacks." I can related to the inability to stay still when I am not on my meds, but I do not shake. Having ADHD or ADD is not something that comes to you one night, it is a state of normalcy for those who have it. You either have it in your genes from the time you were born, or you can develop it if you were brought up in a certain social environment that leaves you lacking in social skills. As for your problem... I am not sure but get it checked out anyway.
I have been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD for over 20 yrs. This is not it. I have had panic attacks...but you want to stay still and be more reclusive when that is happening...not move around. Go to the doctor. I am not sure what this is.
Possibley sounds like your having a bad mushroom trip...
But hey. never mind
Had you taken any medication for anything, either prescription, or over-the-counter medicines like antihistimines, etc.? Sometimes medicines can cause funny side-effects. Did you have any other symptoms? Do you think you could have had any type of seizure? Maybe you would like to talk to your doctor and see what he thinks of the symptoms you experienced, and see if he thinks you need to go in for an exam, or if you need to just watch to see if it happens again. Unless you have had symptoms of inability to concentrate, general activity as a child, or other similiar symptoms in general, ADHD might not be the thing to be looking for, but still up to your doctor to determine. What about blood pressure, thyroid, a very unusual food you may have eaten, or excess stress? A quick check with the doctor would be the best thing to do.
Sounds nothing like ADHD. It sounds alot like an anxiety attack, or a hormonal imbalance. See a doctor, it could be something serious too.
Gabrielle- who cares what you believe? You're not a doctor. Leave this to real scientists and stop believing quacks or amateurs.
