Good deal Zero :)

As far as the medication for focusing, any of the psychostimulants like Ritalin and Adderall should work. But the non-stimulants like Concerta and Strattera are effective too. You will need to be evaluated for ADHD before a Dr. will prescribe meds, but there are a number of ways to enhance focus and sustain attention without medication.

Try limiting distractions, creating organization strategies, etc.
Caffeine also helps some people focus better :surprised as counterintuitive as that seems since it is a stimulant (like Adderall and Ritalin).

If you have questions PM me and I will do my best to answer.

ive taken adderoll before... but thats for people with adhd... the hyper people... im talking about maybe getting the kind that just helps you focus, not calm down... because when i take adderoll it makes me speed -_- (it helps with scholwork though lol)

Definately people don't do drugs (which are the same as taking medication in any way as non-directed)....
Sorry if it sounded like I was encouraging drugs good lord no way
....the fact that I went back and re-read what I typed and thought I sounded sarcastic kinda pisses me off I'm being honest here and not sarcastic as it seems to come off to me as.
Am I making sense?

Then I accidentally grabbed a bottle of Zanex and thats a whole nother story...those make ya real sleepy tho...and when ur driving..not so good of an idea.

oh btw: good job on the speaker
Hopefully those medications are prescribed to you and you are taking them on a regular basis and not just when you think you need them :surprised
I work in the mental health field and encourage you to use these medications carefully and follow all of your doctor's instructions.

FYI, Ritalin and Adderall are schedule 2 controlled substances, so if you don't have a prescription for them you can be hit with felony possession of a controlled substace. Xanax is an anti-anxiety drug and also nothing to mess around with either.

Please be smart and don't encourage people to use these medications recreationally....

okay... so i started working on this research paper ( its just a rough draft due in 4 hours ) at like 8:00 P.M. Last night and ive been working on it a lot... but i get distracted so easily and i cant freakin focus. so its like 3:30 A.M. and im on the last paragraph... almost gonna finish... and i get the awesome idea of tearing open our subwoofer for the computer and seeing if i can replace the woofer :D
