See doc: You should take add meds if you are diagnosed with add & they are prescribed by the evaluating doctor. Distractibility can be caused by many things - depression, neurologic diseases, thyroid disease, sleep apnea, other medications, language disabilities, processing problems. That's why you need to see a competent doc to be assessed for your symptoms.
