Have you ever thought a person was talking to you, but on asking the person what they said, the other person tells you they did not speak?

If so, were you taking any medication, and what was it?

"I did not say anything" ... haha.

I used to get that response more often than now. I am now taking Ritalin. I have been on Ritalin for a month now.

They diagnosed me as having ADHD at age 12; however, I just started taking ritalin.

I also take meds for OCD. I have been taking such meds since 2004. My OCD is severe.

Ritalin counteracts my OCD medication, though. It's a bizarre mixture.

This happens to me occasionally. I'm pretty sure it's happened while not on meds, but it's been so long that I can't say with 100% certainty. I had been on adderall for a while, but quit a few years ago, and I smoke marijuana most days.

Yeah, I get that occasionally. I'm not on meds though.

It never happens to me whether I'm on stimulants or not which makes me abnormal since it is said to be normal to happen very occasionally to normal people.

It has happened to me maybe once or twice, but this happens to my gf often. I have thoughts she was ADHD for a while now though. She's not convinced. :lol:

It happens from time to time but more often I'm on the receiving end. Occasionally I'll be talking to someone and I won't notice they have left and someone else has taken their place. I also get random people coming up and talking to me like I've known them for 5 years, I'm absolutely clueless who most of them are
