adhd or hypersomnia?

TeaGreenTea12 June 5th, 2023

my dr told me i might have adhd becuz i get bored easily sitting sedenatary or impatient like if i was driving n its like my mind cant sit still. im seeing a psychatrist and both drs prescribed me antidepressents and anti anxiety meds to help me stop being anxious and being "chemically sad" when i know things shouldnt be a big deal. but obvs if i dont sleep well the nite before no amoint of caffeine will keep me awake barely like today at work. but now even if sleep well the nite before i get sleepy being on road or if im at work and i sit down too long i get sleepy. i have to have caffeine and sometimes food to stay awake. im seeing my psychattist tuesday and hoping i get tested for adhd and my dr is convinced if i do have adhd i can take adhd meds which help me stay awake and can be a reason i fall sleepy. is anyone have the issue?

Those things are very hard to sort, but it feels like you're over sedated by the depression or anxiety meds. So, maybe those diagnoses were not right? I hope you get the proper treatment soon.
