About my ADHD

I am 14 years old.  When i was about 5 or 7 years old thats when my doctor told my mom i have ADHD. My doctor gave me to take Vyvanse and Strattera. The Vyvanse i take is 60mg capsules and for Strattera i take 60mg capsules to. I had problems over the years. I get distracted very easily but i try not to look or be distracted but its hard sometimes. especially when people are talking, making noise and being annoying is distracting me. There are other stuff i turn my attention to though. But to get away from the distractions i would want to hike in the woods.

    You should not really get too distracted while on the Vyvanse.  Possibly your dose might need adjusting?  The Vyvanse should last you about 10 hours.  
   You might find that fidgeting works to help with the distractions.  Here is a good link on that - http://www.additudemag.com/adhd/article/3967.html
     And here are two very good links on dealing with distractions.
