Suggest Drugs For ADD & Learning Disability
I have had a learning disability ever since I was a toddler. I also believe, I have ADD. I am a very mellow (very low blood pressure) person. I do stress out a lot when I struggle to learn. But I keep it private. I do not want to go through a battery of tests. I would like to take a drug to help me to relax. I do not have any addictions. I do suffer from severe insomnia. Any suggestions for me? I am currently not taking any meds. I am a 55 yr. old female. I would like to be able to have better focus on what I am doing or learning as I mature. Thanks for any advice.

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
In your case, you can try some drugs like amphetamine or methylphenidate. These are stimulants and would help you to maintain your concentration. You need some prescription for them. Better to consult a psychiatrist or physician for them as these drugs are not available over the counter. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
