You must have adult ADHD
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing through HCM.
I have read your query and understood that you have some attention deficit as well as hyperactivity problem. State clearly which problems you have got? Is it attention difficulty or hyperactivity?
Did you have ADHD during your childhood? If you are not aware of this then did you have any symptoms of ADHD during childhood? You have read all the symptoms of ADHD on the internet, so you must be aware of the symptoms and also ead about adult ADHD online.
Drugs are very effective for treatment of ADULT ADHD but first of all we need to confirm the diagnosis. Drugs which are effective are adderrall, vyvanse, atomoxetine, wellbutrin, reboxetine etc.
Give answers to above questions. I am waiting for your reply. Wish you good health.

Brief Answer:
Drugs would benefit you
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing again.
If the childhood ADHD has gone untreated then there are high chances of it's continuation in adult life. It difficult to give a prescription for the drugs online because site doesn't provide prescriptions.
Attention deficit is more troublesome in ADULT ADHD. Drugs like adderall and vyvanse will benefit you most but these are the prescription drugs and there are high chances of misuse. These drugs are not available without written prescription of a licensed doctor of your state.
Taking these drugs warrant a observation and guidance from a psychiatrist, so I would suggest you to visit a psychiatrist and get treatment.
Other drugs with less side effects and misuse profile are bupropion and atomoxeine.
Drugs are not to be taken without permission and consultation of a psychiatrist. I feel sad about the unavailability of psychiatrist but I also can not help with that.
Hope I have answered your query. If you do not have further clarifications then close the discussion and rate the answer.
Wish you good health.
