I was diagnosed with ADD in the third grade, and was on Ritalin until tenth grade. I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and put on Levothyroxine. Shortly after starting the Levo I began getting killer migranes everyday, as a test my doctors took me off the Ritalin to see if that would help, I stopped having migranes but my GPA died. It took me five years to finish high school. I am now in college trying to study to be a Pre-School Teacher, my current GPA is 0.53 and I've been kicked out of my college for lack of performance. I was a stellar student when I was on ADD meds and I miss the focus I used to have.
Since I can not be on Ritalin because of the drug interaction I'm wondering if with all the new drugs now on the market, is there one that wouldn't/shouldn't interact with my thyroid medication?
Please, I'm getting desperate someone help me.

At 22 years of age I was diagnosed with bipolar. My spouse and I have decided to try to conceive and we have been very responsible about the prenatal care that is needed, but I actually have a time limit of 3 months to conceive in before my doctor puts me back on my medication so that I do not risk being hospitalized for a forth time, So I am just wondering if there are any fool proof ways that anyone has heard of to speed up the likliness of conceiving? I have bought a bbt thermometor and I'm taking prenatal vitamins.

Does a patient's behavior when demented reflect the way they were in life at all? Or are they just not themselves at all? It's hard to believe that some of the more abusive dementia patients I deal with weren't maybe a little nasty beforehand.

Do you have intrusive, unwanted thoughts? About what? Do they get worse or more uncontrollable when you're under stress? When you can't get the thoughts out of your head, do you become frustrated or depressed? What are some coping mechanisms?

I divorced my husband 12 yrs ago and my son was devastated. My husband set out to get revenge on me by making me pay child support and trying to take my son from me and having me put in jail. He put me and my son thru hell. My son is now 24 and It still affects him to this day. I try to pretend that I am ok for his sake but I feel angry, bitter and depressed over it. How can I make up to my son and make things better for him and let him know how sorry I am for him having to go thru all of this?

I have had depression all my life--well, as long as I remember. I am doing much better with meds and therapy, but I still tend to think in those same patterns. Now, I catch myself. Do these patterns ever go away altogether?

What is it called when someone has multiple personalities, can remember them, but thinks of them as seperate entities from themselves and those multiple personalities interact with each other? Also can their actual personality be completely crazy, and one of their other personalities be rational and coherent? Please don't say "oh yeah... thats schizophrenia..." Please tell me what ACTUAL disorder that would be, and also if all that above is at all possible. Sources would help immensely!

-THANK YOU!

I am 14, and I am fairly sure that I have had Asperger's Syndrome for all my life without getting diagnosed for it. Over the past few months, I believe the effects have become more profound. I am intensely passionate about math, philosophy, psychology, [theoretical] physics, art, poetry, literature, and ancient history. I feel that over the [course of] past year or so, I have become much more knowledgeable and intelligent. My mathematical prowess, philosophical insight, visualization skills, and raw intelligence have increased noticeably. Correspondingly, however, I have had increasing headaches [both in longevity and severity]. I have very low self-esteem. I do not enjoy "normal" social interaction, and when in social situations I feel mostly fear and anxiety. Recently, this anxiety has become terrible. I do not mind the social awkwardness, but psychologically I am deteriorating, and that has affected me deeply. I've had extreme highs and lows emotionally.

School started last week (I started grade twelve) and all of a sudden, homework is driving me crazy, my friends are getting mad at me because I can't do much anymore, and now that I'm getting a job, I feel more stress.

I don't know why I am being such a baby about everything, why I worry so much! Are these emotions normal for a seventeen year old girl?

I am not sexually active, I have never been sexually active (seventeen is waaaay too young), so it cannot be pregnancy.

Thanks for your help!

I was diagnosed bipolar probably 7 years ago at age 20 or 21. I had been on Prozac for years and started to have somewhat of a mental breakdown. My first diagnosis was schitzophrenia but, after 3 doctors, every antipsychotic/ antidepressant/antianxiety med on the market as well as 3 visits to the hospital and lots of therapy, I wasn't any better.

I finally got the doc I presently have. He told me flat out that, if I was schitzophrenic, I would not be able to hold a conversation with him and tell him, step-by-step, what I've been through mentally and physically. So, I was diagnosed then as schitzoaffective bipolar.

I was on and off all sorts of meds, but the longest regiment I had was Cymbalta/Lamictal/Ativan. Started out 2 x a day, then once. Then I got in a bad car accident and I thought it's been over 7 years and I wanted off the meds. So, I weaned myself off them. It's been about 9 months.

Anyone else done anything similar? If so, what were your experiences?
