I have had hard time staying focused on anything.my attention span is very short. I start several projects but get bored and move on to the next one. I can t even watch a movie. I get up and down and piddle with other things.i don t concentrate like I should at work and find myself sleepy all the time. My children take aderall so I tried one. They commented to me that I seem calm and not bouncing all over the place. Can u help?
Hello welcome to Chat Doctor According to the symptoms given by you, you could be having some sort of anxiety disorder or even depressive episode as these symptoms (difficulty concentrating/attention) are common in these conditions. There is also a possibility of Adult ADHD, but that diagnosis rests on detailed evaluation by a psychiatrist. I advise you to stop taking Adderall on your own as it is associated with significant side effects. Consult a psychiatrist for proper diagnosis and management. Hope it helpsThanks
