I really do not even know how to begin this thread so please bare with me.

I was diagnosed with ADD at age 5,I am now 29 years old.My mother never put me on any meds but when I was a adult myself and going too get my high school finished I choose too get help with meds.As many of us know the slightest little sound throws us right off.If someone even sneezed while I was taking my tests I would get frustrated and feel like I could not finish.I was put on Concerta and then strattera.Well now due too gastric bypass surgery four months ago,I am not on anything.I start school in sept and I am getting nervous.I just moved from Michigan too ORegon and have a new doctor and yes he has my records but i am nervous to talk to him about new meds.I feel I really need the meds too help with my concentration.Without them I will be sitting in class but my brains would be outside with the birds or anything but class or what my professor has too say.
I am lost,confused and nervous and do not know what I should do,any advice?I know your just thinking "well go talk to your doctor".Why am i so nervous I am not sure?I think with my surgery and not knowing what too take and all that is all bothering me as well.
Sorry I am babbling on but have a lot on my mind and do not know what too do.:faint:

My advice to you is that you be honest with your Dr, and let your Dr know how much anxiety you had about discussing this matter with him/her. I think you will find that your Dr will be most appreciative of your honesty, and will actually notice how willing you are to overcome your fears to get the help you know you need. You owe it to yourself to get the best treatment you can, and being honest with your Dr is the best way to insure you get the best treatment.

I am a 36 year old full time student, and I know how intimidating it can be to return to school later in life. Without proper medication I do not think I would have any hope of getting through the process. Instead, due to my honesty with my Dr over the years, I am able to use the best medications available to treat my dissorder, and as a result I am entering my senior year with the hopes of entering medical school a year from now. I think I owe a lot of it to my Dr, and to the medications that have helped me so very much along my journey.

Thank you Lars! You have a very good point.I do not know why I am having such a hard time with this.I have been having a very hard time latley with trying too come foward and talk to my doctor about this matter and have no clue why.I think its cause he is new too me but i never had this problem before.I dont know,ughhhhhhhhhhhh.

Liz..it took me sooo much courage to even broach the subject with my Dr. I know exactly how you are feeling. I even made and cancelled appointments because I kept chickening out for some reason!!

I wrote down what I wanted to say, and I gave him the list to read :-)

good luck
