Exactly. Attention deficit is a misnomer; inappropriate attention, or poor attention control, is the issue. Some additional "been there, done that" comments: if you try drugs, give them time to work. If you trying different drugs, give them time to leave your system. Know that some side-effects are temporary, but each person may respond differently. You may need to try a few different drugs. If you honestly think you have a real cognitive or neurological problem, keep pushing for help and don't give up.
