Brief Answer:
Anxiety disorder
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I have gone through your query.
The symptoms appear to be matching ADHD but can be due to some anxiety disorders as well.
Anxiety disorders are more common than Adult onset ADHD.
Since when are you having these symptoms?
Have you taken any medications for your symptoms?
Do you have any other medical conditions? diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorder or any other illness?
Any obvious stressors?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Thyroid levels, anxiety
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
Thanks for the reply.
I have few suggestions for you:
1. Please get your thyroid levels rechecked. Uncontrolled thyroid levels can cause such symptoms. And blood sugar levels too.
2. Also monitor your blood pressure.
3. In my experience, The chances of anxiety disorder causing such symptoms is more at your age. So, I would suggest you to consider anti anxiety drugs like sertraline, clonazepam (prescription drugs) for the treatment.
4. In some cases, the vitamin B12 and vitamin D deficiency can also cause such symptoms. Please get these checked also.
Kindly discuss these issues with your local doctor.
Feel free to ask further.
Regards.

Just went to the Doctor on January 11, 2019. Dr. Aladesanmi is the one that said a physiatrist needed to right an RX.
My vitals were:
Blood Pressure 103/79.
Pulse was 66.
My T levels were in a normal range.
Can you send an RX to my pharmacy of one of the drugs you mentioned?
