Listen to your neurologist, brain overload can do ALOT, and losing your focus is minimal compared to some of it..bothersome, but it will fade. Just try to relax more..trust me.  |

Xylanthia, I thought so too that it was just a brain overload but now I'm thinking differently. I've been going through this awhile now. I know they say stress can cause this but it's getting to the point where it seems like something else may be going on. I don't think it's just stress. |

Hmm, well, just to be safe it can't hurt to get a second opinion other than the one from your neurologist..and if worse comes to worse you have the right to insist on tests if you feel that strongly. Good luck!! |

Thank you Xylanthia! I'm kinda ticked at my neurologist tho I was trying to explain what I was going through and it was as if he didn't understand or was in a hurry. It seems nowadays most doctors want to get you in and out as fast as possible. |

sounds like me, and my fiancee quite alot... we both have bi-polar disorder(different types though). Sounds similar to a manic episode. if bi-polar happens to be the case, be very careful of the meds, there are alot a person with a sensitive system can't take(makes you sick, feel worse, or can just about kill you). Its something to look into, its more common then most people think. Hope I could help some.  |

Gee I dont know, but I'd have it checked out. I zone out alot, but if I'm interested in something at least I can concentrate on it. yours doesnt sound right.  |

Have you felt like this for a long time or is it just something that's been happening recently? If it just popped up, it's most likely caused by stress. But just to make sure, go see your doctor and find out.  |

Have you started taking any new medications? It could be a side effect.
Usually it seems that doctors like to perscribe medication even if it isn't needed. I'm on medicine for ADHD, though I'm not so sure that's actually my problem. Try a different physician. I can't imagine most doctors would disagree if you firmly believe yourself you have a disorder of that sort.  |

Xylanthia, yep doctors only seem to care about money nowadays. It's hard to find a good one that still cares and takes the time to actually talk to you. |

Base, it's been happening for the past couple of years. I'd have trouble concentrating and focusing on my schoolwork and I'd get frustrated easily. Now it just seems I get distracted all the time. I don't know what it is. |

Offspring chicka, I've been like this for awhile, I think stress may be causing it more frequently but I'm not exactly sure. |

M&M, I have heard medications can do this to you but I've been on Elavil for my migraines for a long time now and I doubt it could be the medicine. I plan to see my family doctor about this and hopefully he can give me some answers. |

Usually in order to be diagnosed ADD/ADHD at your age the symptoms have to date back to early childhood. It's something you have your whole life. You said you take elavil for your headaches, I've taken elavil before and I could see it causing the symptoms that you're having lol. Did the symptoms start around the time you started taking it? |

Hey Lemon..Maybe you should have your thyroids checked. I have thyroid problems and before I was diagnosed, I had the same problems. It was so very frustrating and at times embarrassing. I am now taking synthroid and it has helped a lot. ((Hugs)) to ya  |

I ahve been this way all my life. I was way at the bottom of the clas because of this. I am on medacation. but I have no named dissorder they put me on med due to depression, anxiety, obessive personalit traits, and lack of focus. all those things were enough reason to put me on med I advise you to see a doctor and let them give you a diognoises.  |
