Does anyone take any? Are you planning to take some whilst in college?

I'm still in highschool (last year of it) and I'm thinking of going to the doctor to try and get some prescribed.

I don't think I have ADD per se but I do have a couple symptoms. I have a lot of trouble paying attention in class. Listening and concentrating for more than 4-5 minutes at a time is difficult, I get easily distracted by trivial things. During, for example, a 3 hour exam, I only concentrate and work for about 2h15; the rest of the time I'm either playing with my pens, looking out the window, getting distracted by stupid things. When I watch others, they're fully concentrated on the task, don't even stop working for 2 minutes while I'm daydreaming. I also often don't remember what I've just read. I know a lot of people say this but I literly have trouble making connections between the sentences (sometimes words!) while reading.

You might say that if I managed all these years without it, I don't need it today. This is where I'd say; up until now, I managed because I'm a smart guy (not bragging here) but now that it's becoming more difficult, I'm having trouble.

Adderall would at least help me for those really big ones (exams, essays, etc....) when you have to keep concentrated for an extended period of time.


Help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
