I think if I have any other problems besides attention it would be a perfectionistic attitude which makes me overly concerned with what others might think of me. The combination of the two could spell a recipe for "social phobia." I've reduced my perfectionism considerably with rational-emotive therapy.
The idea of having to speak to a large group makes me panicky, but that is a common fear with alot of people.
At present I take Nardil (30mg) which I probably would have to stop taking to start a stimulent, so its something to think about.
Thanks all, for the input!
