well, even if it is ADD or ADHD, (it cant be that severe if you havent been fully diagnosed before now) you shouldn't take ridalin or any other ADD drug like that!. the thing about ADD is it gets much less intense as you age!. the drugs have a huge dependancy factor (not so much as "OMG!! I NEED THEM AHHH!!!" as "damn!.!.!. i cant concentrate!.!.!. better take a pill :D ) and, your body will build resistances to them making you need to take a bigger dose!. i guess my point is, just ignore it and it will go away!.!. lolWww@Answer-Health@Com
This is a brain chemistry problem that has to do with a chemical imbalance!. Having too much or too little of some amino acids can cause this!. You can get tested for amino acid levels to see where you need help!. You can go to neuroscience!.com for help!. I don't know the cost for testing and treatment but they may take insurance or payments!. You should also check out the book "The Mood Cure", it talks about depression, anxiety, add, drug/alcohol addiction and what nutritional amino acids to take for each, this book is very helpful with plenty of resources!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yes, it seems like you have some components of ADD!. I'd talk with a Dr!. Other more natural remedies are caffeine (like strong coffee)!. Have a cup before you need to really focus, it works much like ADD prescription meds do on the brain!. Also, good exercise (like an hour, that really builds a sweat) helps too!. Good luck!.
