When I was a kid I used to take Ridalin,for a few years I took it on a daily basis up until High school,I just stopped taking it.

Here's a quiz that you can take to test your level of ADHD as an adult

Adults are diagnosed as either predominantly hyperactive, predominantly inattentive and a mixed type with symptoms of the other two forms with a certain set of criteria. IF you think that you are ADHD (they estimate 4% of US adults could be diagnosed with ADHD), I suggest that you set up a screening with your doctor or psychiatrist. Here's some more information that might help:
