After several conversations with my mother, who also happens to be my employer, I've begun to think that I may have ADD or ADHD.(Not sure of difference) I've been on Zoloft for three years due to SEVERE panic attacks. I also have a rage problem. It seems that my anxiety manifests itself through outbursts of anger. The Zoloft has all but cured the panic attacks. (Haven't had one since I started Zoloft) I still have an extremely short fuse though. Looking back at when my panic attacks started, they were work related, I think that the anxiety may have been brought on by my inability to perform my work duties. I was a financial planner, and often would forget to return phone calls, which would lead to a client calling to yell at me, which would lead to a spike in my anxiety, which would lead to a panic attack. I have had tons of jobs in my life and besides working for my parents insurance company, I rarely last more than a few months at any one place. I also flunked out of college. I've always been told by everyone that I was lazy, but I swear I've always tried my best.
Well, my mother recently saw a show on ADD, and called me to tell me that she thinks I may have it. I certainly do fit the profile. I'm beginning to think that the panic attack problem and the anger problem may have been due to ADD.
Now, on a side note, my sister began Zoloft around the same time as me. She didn't have panic attacks, just severe depression. She had problems performing at work as well. She recently went to her doctor, and she prescribed her Adderall. My sister cannot be happier. She's been on it for four months, and says that it's completely turned her life around. I went to the doctor yesterday hoping for the same results.
My doctor, although in the same office as my sister's doctor, was very reluctant to prescribe Adderall, as he says it is "legal speed". He prescribed Wellbutrin instead. I understand why many doctors feel uncomfortable prescribing Adderall, but I was convinced he would prescribe me Adderall since it worked for my sister, and we are genetically similiar.(Not sure if ADD is genetic or not). I guess I may be impatient, but listening to my sister, I can't wait to improve my work life and personal life.(My fiance is getting pretty tired of my temper issues) Should I try the Wellbutrin, or see another doctor who would be more willing to prescribe Adderall? I know I'm being impatient, but after years of struggling with an inability to multitask, a temper problem, a procrastination problem, and work related stress, and now finding out that ALL of these problems are possibly fixable, I'm very excited to turn my life around. Do I have a bad attitude about this whole situation? I don't know what to think.
