Usually ADD and sometimes ADHD is connected with kids who are hyped up 24/7 and can't seem to stop. ADHD is a little less severe or at least different then ADD as many of you probablly know.
Anyways, I've never really had a problem with too much jumping around and what not, but always found it a little hard to concentrate sometimes. Marks have always been pretty good, all pure subjects in high school with high 60's low 70's, so it was never that bad. However I did look into ADHD since I was sure I was not ADD myself, I looked into symptoms and examples when it came to ADHD. First off I thought the whole thing sounded stupid but the more I read the more I thought, wow! Tough time keeping organized, hard to concentrate over an extended period of time, sometimes easily distracted. Now there are a lot more serious symptoms which can lean towards a learning disability, that really affect people. Myn was not that severe what so ever yet I still was intrested to find ways to help myself and learn about it.
Talked to doctor, a few teachers and the folks. Started using dexadrin about 3 weeks ago, and man do I ever notice a change. I'm only a senior in High School so a lot younger then a lot of the posters here but the workload itself in grade 12 is still a heavy one. It's not a dramatic change in me as a human being all around, but it's little things like being able to concentrate and have my mind focus in on certain things much easier.
Anyways sorry for the long post, but my question was has anybody else ever though that they might have either, or has anybody even used or is on medication (dex, ridalin exc.)?
