Hi David,
Are you stil around on Medhelp ? Just wanted to know if you got some 'solutions' with your ADHD memory problems ?
As an Aspeger I got exactly the same problems as you (ADHD is also a comorbid symptom of Asperger syndrome)
Unfortunately for me, as an Aspeger I'm extremely sensible with any medication.
Information on your actual situation would be welcome !
Thanks for your time.

I can only answer about gingko. I took this for short-term memory loss as  part of a study. I worked beautifully for me, but I did not have  your specific problems. I was suffering from severe long-term insomnia.
