hiya clint...
if adderal helped more, could you talk to your doctor about switching back? is there a reason that your doctor switched you to the other?
i know that it is very tough to concentrate. and i think the suggestion to talk to your professor is a very good one indeed. another idea to consider is to talk to the omnibudsperson at your university. they are usually well equipped to help in situations such as this, if you find that you are far behind in classes. i'm not sure if this is your case or not, but if it is you may want to make an appointment with this person.
another suggestion is to get in contact with the person in charge of the disability (pardon me, i'm having a dumb moment.. i had a large paper due,, it will come to me, if it doesn't you should be able to find the appropriate temrinology in your student directory, or call information for the campus) .. oh, the head of students' with disabilities.. is that it??? you can easily be put on the list, if this causes you problems such that you find it hard to turn in your assignments on time. if you are associated with this particular organization, you can easily get extensions (i believe is the case) for homework assignments, etc. i think you only need documentation from your pdoc (or gp if you don't see a pdoc)... make an appointment with someone from the students with disabilities office if you are interested in being affiliated with the organization. i'm not exactly sure how much disstress this is causing you.
i hope you can find a workable solution soon. college is tough. i hope the rewards are like everyone claims, you know? i have people skills though. personally, i think that's better than any piece of paper. i just go to class because i like to listen to the lectures. i could do without the assignments. oh, and i guess i also go to class to talk to the wonderful professors. oh, how i love those older men, with their wonderful stories.
