> I agree with this. I have ADD, ans some people say that "lots" of thoughts are racing thoughts. People just express it diff. ways. I have what my p-doc calls "obsessive thoughts", but he said not like obsessive/compulsive, to him it means I can't get to sleep because I keep thinking of things that other ppl put aside to sleep. I think of things I have to do, things I said or should have said, bills I have to pay, etc. Some ppl would call that racing thoughts. I don't have them so much when I'm on the Adderall.

Does it feel at all like anxiety to you? I mean, are you anxious about the things that you have to do, etc? That's how I feel. It's thoughts just like you describe-- the "lots of thoughts" thing, many thoughts distracting me and keeping me from focusing on other stuff at times. And they're hard to put aside. I do have ADD-- but especially in the mornings, these thoughts tend to make me freak out and it's more like anxiety about everything I have to do. Other times the thoughts are just there, not necessarily anxiety provoking, but kind of overwhelming anyways, and bothersome because they keep me from paying attention to other (more important) stuff.

I'm not currently taking any ADD med. I've only tried Ritalin and Adderall and didn't like them, plus they didn't seem to work. I want to take something else but I'm not sure what.
