adult adhd is usally not seen maybe as much as hyperactive as kids are...still there are cases out there. Usally in ADDorADHD case the person has difficulty with memory and concentraton to the point where it effects their daily tasks...
I did not write this....this is from wikipedia. I'm just tired tonight, usally I could easily write a response to this. Anyways, here it is..
Predominantly inattentive type symptoms may include:[29]
Be easily distracted, miss details, forget things, and frequently switch from one activity to another
Have difficulty maintaining focus on one task
Become bored with a task after only a few minutes, unless doing something enjoyable
Have difficulty focusing attention on organizing and completing a task or learning something new or trouble completing or turning in homework assignments, often losing things (e.g., pencils, toys, assignments) needed to complete tasks or activities

stimulants depend on the person, some people respond well to methyphenidate...others dextroamphetamine usally its a bit more potent. A good choice with it is to take Strattera or Intuniv....and actually I have say these off label use
Clonodine
Zyprexa ... i've noticed it produces a calmness to my hyper thinking, i don't feel like doing silly things when I'm on zyprexaanyways hope this helps...good night
