How Can ADD, Leading To Lack Of Concentration At Work, Be Treated?

Hi there, I am a woman in my mid-thirties just now realizing I may have ADD. I have a very difficult time focusing on my work and it is starting to cause some major issues at my workplace. I have researched meds like Adderall and Vyvanse and think one may be right for me, and would like to try them. My current doctor says I should wait on it because I have had anxiety problems (years ago) and he thinks they may return but I need to do something about this now. Can you write prescriptions online or what would you recommend for me? THanks

Hi,

While this medicine may work well for ADS but the has got quite a few side effects. So it's not wise to tell them if not really needed.

Attention deficit is also caused by anxiety and depression (these are more common causes in this age).

So your dr is very right , you should wait if thing improve, otherwise you can see him after sometimes and he would assess you and prescribe if you need.

I would advise you should try some meditation if that can help you. I am afraid that these drugs cannot be prescribed online.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
