What Causes Inability To Focus And Stress?
I was wondering whats been going on with me.. I am constantly getting distracted easily. I always fidget, stress over the smallest things, and have no drive. This have been going on for at least a a couple years but its getting worse. I cant focus on anything. I just got this new job and its affecting my job. This job can be really good for me. I heard vyvanse helped with focus and i read review online and alot of people said they loved it.. Could I have adultt ADD? Would i be able to get perscribed vyvanse?

Thanks for using healthcare magic
Vyvanse consists of amphetamine and it has abuse potential. You may have underline depression or stress, due to which you are feeling distraction while doing work. Better to consult a psychiatrist and get your mental status evaluated. You would easily improved with antidepressant like paroxetine and it has less abuse potential. In case, psychiatrist feel you have ADD, he/she would prescribed you vyvanse.
