Yes you need to get tested
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
ADD is a common co-morbid condition with depression, OCD and anxiety disorder. Its very common and frequently missed by many doctors. Many a times ADD is diagnosed and treated separately along with the treatment of depression, anxiety and OCD. The diagnosis of ADD is made after formal face to face evaluation of the patient along with info from your parents.
Do get a psychiatry appointment fixed and get the formal assessment done. If diagnosed vyvannse can be helpful in ameliorating your symptoms.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.

Also, where can I rate your answer? I want to give it all stars because you helped me ease my mind. I did not know adults could have add and or adhd. I'm not diagnosing myself, but, I almost feel as if someone has lifted a weight off of my shoulders. When I read the brochure for Vyvannse I almost cried. I struggle everyday just to stay afloat. It's a constant battle between laundry never getting finished. Leaving water running, missing appointments, losing money, credit cards, daydreaming while driving, it's just not fun. I have gotten to the point where I don't even want to do anything for fear of messing up.
I just wish I could find a good, intelligent dr that will take to me with me and not just send me on my way with amphetamines. I have taken phentermine in the past before my wedding to lose weight and that's also a stimulant. I remember acruelly feeling so calm and comfortable in my own mind for those 6 months. But, then when I learned the side effects from the phentermine, I stopped them. I didn't want to hurt myself or make myself sick just to quickly lose some weight.
Guanfacine
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Stimulants are good treatment options and are safe as well.
If you don't want a stimulant, then guanfacine is a good option. You may discuss this options with yor psychiatrist as well as it is as effective as stimulant. Bupropion is also a good option among the treatment options for ADD.
You will get the option to rate the answer after you close the discussion.
Kind regards.
