Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
First of all you should never take someone else's ADHD drugs. They are prescription drugs which are to be taken only under medical supervision.
It is possible that you may have ADHD.
I would suggest you talk to your parents and get yourself assessed by a developmental paediatrician. Only after appropriate diagnosis you can get yourself a prescription.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you.
