attention deficit disorder is problem in paying or sustaining attention. often they will be in fantasy world, forgetfulness. because of that many student are poor in scholastic skill. even though they are poor in academics, they have some ex-ordinary skill, may be good in any one of this skills,drawing, dancing, music,e.tc.
instead, of going for medicine. consult your occupational therapist, who will guide you towards attention enhancing activities.
thank you.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic
What is your age. You may have taken a psychostimulant which is usually known to cause increased attentivity, fast thinking, more energetic feeling etc. This is why you experienced the momentary stimulation. It would be best to avoid taking these amphetamines as they can be very dangerous for you heart, brain causing heart attacks and seizures. Avoid this medication. Kindly consult your Doctor if you develop any problems with your health.
