Suggest Medication For Lack Of Focus And Concentration
Hi I am a professional with a very stressful career. I am finding it very difficult to focus and cant concentrate on something for more than 20 min. I am required to work a minimum of 60 hours a week (I am an auditor and it is high season now). I just cant cope and need something to help with the focus. I have just recently moved to Florida from South Africa. I have a Script from my South African Doctor for Aderall, however I cant use that here. Can you help me with this?

Hi,
It seems from your symptoms that you are mostly suffering from stress disorder.
What's your age?Are you married?Do you stay with your family?
If yes,try to spend some time with them for relaxation,
leave your office works at the office itself.
During weekends,try to go out for an outing and spend some time with your friends/colleagues/family members.
You need to meditate everyday for atleast 30 mins in the morning(try some deep breathing exercises)which ll help you to concentrate well.
Also go for a brisk walk for about 20 mins daily in the evening after dinner.
I hope these measures ll help you to get relief from your problem.
If it still persists,you can have some benzodiazepines like clonazepam in the required dosage and if needed,consult with a psychiatrist for proper counseling and evaluation.
Take care
