Default ADD question

I called my psychiatrist to make an appointment to get an ADD evaluation, because it seems like I have a lot of trouble sustaining focus on my activities. I almost never study. I get really distracted, and I procrastinate a lot. My focus in poker goes way up and down a lot. Sometimes I can read people realy well, and other times, I miss a clue that was very obvious and elementary. Does it sounds like I have ADD?

How good were your results? I'm trying to be hopeful. I feel like I'm retarded or something. My IQ is fairly high, but I just don't ever get anything done. I want to be successful in school and do better in poker, but I can't seem to follow the steps of a plan to get me there.

Yea, I know what you mean, and it definitely helps you with drive. Focalin isn't addictive, and it's not necessary to take every day, just when you need it. I used to really be able to tell a difference...like...a huge difference when I took it in focusing, but I'm not sure it's as effective as it once was. Either that, or I've gotten used to it...I dunno. I also suffer from SAD (seasonal affective syndrome), so in general, wintertime driven feelings are harder to come by
