4 Arial Blue There are several "symtoms" to ADD and ADHD. You can do a search on ADD and try to find a checklist. I wasn't diagnosed until I was a Junior in High school. ADD & ADHD are heriditary. But it can also be caused by a brain injury. Lack of oxegen at birth, blow to the head. It doesn't have to be a major brain injury. It is true though. That if you aren't ADD, the meds will wire you. It is like speed for normal people. It has the opposite effect for ADD and ADHD children. If you want a sample of what the med will do. Drink a Sugar Free Mountain Dew. The caffene is a stimulant similar to those in Ritalin and Concerta. If you are wired, then I would say that you are not ADHD. But on the other hand if you have trouble concentrating, loose train of though often, or forget things easily, it may be ADD. I hope this helps some.
