Many options: There are many effective medications for treatment of ADD, of which Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine) is one. Your doctor will be able to suggest which of the medications he or she thinks would be best for your condition.

No: Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine) is a powerful, potentially addictive stimulant. If you do have ADD or ADHD, then the medication is appropriate but you must take the med daily, not for any other purpose than controlling your ADD symptoms. If difficulty concentrating is one of your daily ADD problems, that's fine. But it's not a good idea to enhance your ability to drive or concentrate by taking it at certain times.
