I can’t seem to ever concentrate. My friend says Adderall helps him concentrate. How do I find out if it’s a good option for me?

First of all, have you been diagnosed with ADD by a medical professional? If not, you might want to consider contacting your doctor. If you have ADD, your doctor will help you find the best solution for you.

You shouldn't use Adderall unless prescribed by a doctor. If you are concerned about your ability to concentrate, please contact a doctor or therapist.

Talk to a psychiatric professional. Attention disorders can cause a huge host of other problems which you may find shocking. Everything from mood swings to weight gain to to depression and mania can come from these kinds of disorders. You owe it to yourself to assess your mental health with the help of a professional.

I would talk to your parents about your troubles with focus, and suggest getting tested. The school should bring in a person that'll test you and see how you focus and understand things. Then when you get the results back, depending on what they are, go to your doctor and explain things. See if you need Aderall or not.

Well, the best way is to talk to your prescriber! Medication is a tricky thing, it's not for everyone, and for many it's not a best first-line option. So your prescriber may have you try other things to help you concentrate first. There are many guides that can help you learn to focus more, but it takes a LOT of hard work. AND, even if your prescriber is willing to write you an Rx, it might not be Adderall first, and that's okay! It's not always a first option drug..

I suggest seeing a medical professional and raising these concerns of yours with them, they will be able to advise you on the next steps to take and whether you would benefit from any medications.

You should never take medication on your own. The best way to determine any type of help is talking to your doctor. Having problems with concentration is not always due to ADHD where Adderall or Ritalin can help. Sometimes anxiety can cause concentration problems. Always talk to a doctor before doing anything whether its starting medication or getting off of them.

There are many exercises and foods that you can eat in order to improve focus, you can an abundance of information about this online. However, if these natural solutions do not help, I would suggest seeing a psychiatrist and they will be able to accurately assess your needs. Good luck!

I would honestly go to a psychiatrist and ask. Make sure they do a "exam" to see what suits you! Because adderall isn't for everyone

I would see a doctor about Adderall and see if it could work for you. Everyone is different and you might be able to find something less cost effective and not 'drug / prescription related' to help you concentrate. But defiantly talk to someone about it, don't try it without a doctor or legal guardian's say.
