ADHD
"In early elementary school I was diagnosed with ADHD. It&#039;s not common for females to have it. I started on ritalin. It helped, but I stopped taking it in high school because I was worried about the stigma. In University I took it off and on. After graduating, I took it only during major changes because it helped me cope, but I never wanted to rely on it. Now I&#039;m trying to get my career going in the field I want to be in and I&#039;m stressed out of my mind. I have anxiety and my family doc is concerned I&#039;m going through depression. I&#039;m back on Concerta and have been for a few days. It is the 18mg dosage, but while I feel a bit more focused, sadly I feel more focused on my emotions. Hopefully when I move up to 27mg I will be less forgetful and anxious."
