How To Treat My ADD With Insomnia?

I have had a learning disability ever since I was a toddler. I also believe, I have ADD. I am a very mellow (very low blood pressure) person. I do stress out a lot when I struggle to learn. But I keep it private. I do not want to go through a battery of tests. I would like to take a drug to help me to relax. I do not have any addictions. I do suffer from severe insomnia. Any suggestions for me? I am currently not taking any meds. I am a 55 yr. old female. I would like to be able to have better focus on what I am doing or learning as I mature. Thanks for any advice.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Dear, l think learning disability and ADD starts from childhood. Don't struggle to learn. Let the learning be natural. Don't keep things private, share it with whom you confide. For insomnia consult a good psychiatrist. Many a times insomnia impairs concentration so if you have good sleep you will feel relief. Follow the advise of your psychiatrist. You will be OK.
