adult ADD

[Ponyup]

The reason I think I have it is because I can't concentrate on just one thing. If there are a lot of things going on I am very productive. However, if I only have one task I can't seem to get focused on it & it takes me forever to finish. I seem to work better if I'm talking on the phone & working. It's like I have to occupy all the parts of my brain at one time in order for it to be productive. I did realitively well in school, but only because it was easy for me. College wasn't much of an adjustment, I thought I would have to study & such, but I went to class & did my homework & was able to get good grades there too. Whenever I study I must have the t.v., radio or something going or I can't focus. Right now I'm in a somewhat repitive job & I spend most of my time on here because I can't seem to stay focused. I was just wondering what others experiences are. That the meds might help me. Are there any side effects?
