I have this problem, I'm on ADHD meds, I get enough sleep, but yet when I find something boring I fall asleep. Does anyone know of anything that can help?
Thanks,
Karrie

I don't know how effective this is, but I saw an infomercial for a product called Focus Factor. Usually anything that is on TV is also on the web, so if you are interested in finding out more, try doing a google search.

Hmm I don't know much about ADHD it's hard to say.
But when I need to concentrate I have 1 can of Red Bull energy drink, it's high in caffine, so that will keep you awake

lol, goblin. Honestly, this is high school, I don't think my world history teacher would let me get away with that.

Red Bull isn't alcoholic Kerry it's like a soda.
Now about taking stuff. I'm a body builder and really into supplements, but I'm here to say 95% of it's a waist of money plus health damaging. I'll do some research if you like let me know, but for now try the Red Bull or other drinks like it. It's small enough to drink before class.

Drink it before you go in to class the stimulant effect lasts for quite a while.

Karrie, there are caffeine supplements you can take, but I'm not sure how they, or any stimulant, would interact with your ADHD meds. But the caffeine supplement I sometimes use at work is called Vivarin. It's pure caffeine, and sold at any store like Walgreen's, etc.
