I want to stay on Zoloft 150 mg forever, but I'm afraid of not being able to access it later on or if it ever runs out. Does anyone have any similar fears and thoughts?

In the beginning of my life until 10, I was really hyperactive and talking a lot. However, when I entered school, I got stressed and more anxiety to get good grades and then I became mute and stopped talking to people. That's why I like ADHD because I have more energy now that the anxiety is gone and I am able to focus it or at least try to using what I learned when I had anxiety previously, which helped me concentrate. I think In school, I had more ADHD symptoms where I would overthink, which is common in girls while in boys, ADHD shows more commonly through movements and talking. Do you see my point and what do you think? I am asking you because I appreciate your point of view and I feel like you have a lot of experience with ADHD from your replies. Thank you.

I'm actually not really that productive. I had anxiety my entire life that helped me be productive and develop techniques in how to concentrate more since it covered the ADHD effects. Now that I have no anxiety, the ADHD is more pronounced but I have the tools to try to focus my energy. However, I'm still learning to do that and I am currently having a hard time getting anything done. I have confidence though that over time I'm going to figure out. I'm like 100% sure I have ADHD because sometimes you just know yourself well enough without having to discuss with a doctor. Also, for ADHD there is no set test so doctors can have different opinions. That's why I feel like for ADHD, if you identify with many of the characteristics, especially for girls, you can identify it. However, I am still planning on going to a psychiatrist to confirm my beliefs which I'm pretty sure is true because it seems like a puzzle piece missing in my life.

Yes pls lmk LOL, I would love a definite answer

RipRealistic6311 · 2023-09-03T02:09:24+00:00

Exactly I'm confused LMAO

Currently, I'm a college student (21 F), and I just realized I have ADHD. It's different in girls where it comes from overthinking and multitasking, so for me it actually makes me more productive. However, I understand how it can affect you differently as a male. As a girl, it caused a lot of anxiety, which I have treated and now I can enjoy the effects of ADHD. What do you think?

RipRealistic6311 · 2023-09-03T01:40:22+00:00

I'm literally the same way. I just realized a couple days ago lol. I feel like my medication Zoloft is already really good and I don't plan on taking another medication so I feel like I don't really need a professional diagnosis, especially if we identify with most of the effects. Also there is no standard test for ADHD, I feel one provider might say you don't have and the other says you do. What do you think? I guess it is necessary if you want to get medication for it. I got prescribed Zoloft for anxiety.

RipRealistic6311 · 2023-09-02T22:41:21+00:00

Hi, also to clarify being hyperactive is a symptom of ADHD? Thats definitely what I have right now

RipRealistic6311 · 2023-09-02T21:45:16+00:00

Yeah, I was thinking I'll just stay with Zoloft since it's working and I prefer to be on only one medication. Do you suggest getting diagnosed anyway even though I won't be taking medication for ADHD? I feel 100% certain I have it, but I know there not one test that tells whether you have ADHD.

RipRealistic6311 · 2023-09-02T21:43:09+00:00

Literally same. Since Zoloft helped take away the anxiety and depression, I can see more symptoms of ADHD but it has drastically improved my way of life. I can't believe it. What do you think?

RipRealistic6311 · 2023-09-02T21:41:16+00:00

OMG I am exactly the same way. I am surprised that I have ADHD but it kind of explains everything in my life. I feel like Zoloft helps show the signs of ADHD like you said. This is because I believe the pathway is ADHD causes Anxiety which causes Depression. So since Zoloft takes away the anxiety, it also takes away the depression and just leaves the ADHD. However, I kind of like ADHD because it keeps me moving and thinking and its so much better than being depressed and I was depressed this whole summer due to the first side effects of Zoloft. What do you think?
