why did you settle on adhd? adhd people are typically overactive. It means Attention Defecit Hyperactivity. I mean, it is literally about being 'hyperactive'. Like my friend. He's like always walking super fast and very extraverted. He does stuff every hour of the day and never gets tired. I try to keep up but really he has to wait on me. He did have trouble with school, but that's because he's always running off somewhere, not because he's sitting at his desk fidgetting. these days he runs his own company and has a full time job, a lot of social commitments, sports etc. He can't gain any weight because he's always running and lives life at a higher pace than normal so he's very skinny. Also it's widely known ritalin and aderall help everyone with concentration, not just adhd people. so you can't diagnose yourself based on the fact that it helps you. I am not saying you don't have a problem, but i find your case to be atypical for adhd. generally people with concentration problems without hyperactivity end up under the 'add' label. But i don't know everything, of course. it could be something else. or nothing that has any label. it's just that what you wrote about doctors and that you are not listening. you might want to consider listening to them a bit.
