How Can Adult ADHD Be Treated?

I am a 33 year old female with a history of tuning out during conversations.. I have recently begun reading up on adhd.. and I seem to have more symptoms than I ever knew. I have difficulty minting jobs and relationships. I have had, and continue to have multiple car accidents... although always minor. I have difficulty with my temper... as even with my children, I seem to have no patience with them. I also have difficulty retaining information. I was wondering if adderall might be of some benefit to me.

Hope this will help
