I don't know, maybe. The members of my family have the hyperactivity part of it, too. But, the hyperactivity is like constantly staying moving (while learning) to avoid that discomfort. And, I totally understand the distraction part and the need to feel overstimulated. Now that I'm thinking about it more - it's like I have to work extremely hard to remove my attention from the rest of the environment. Almost like I'm taking in too much information, and it's hard to shut out the other stuff. Does that make sense? But, that's an interesting perspective, because all of the members of my family have some sort of bipolar, as well. And, bipolar has co-morbidity with ADHD. So, maybe that type of ADHD is different? As far as NRIs, yeah I once had a panic attack (also co-morbid with bipolar and ADHD) and had to go to the ER. The neurologist gave me an NRI, and it made me so absolutely sick - it was a feeling like someone twisting my brain inside out. Also, I've had sleep studies done, and I've had no underlying sleep issues.
