Re: Caffeine dosage used as ADD medication?

I found that Omega-3 helps me to concentrate and stay on task longer. It’s not by much, but it is something. In my experience I go down to about a 40 minute attention span in school from about 2 hours when I forget to take it in the morning. What you also want to do is to avoid Omega-6 to gain maximum benefit, as the balance between the two is what you strive to balance with taking additional Omega-3. I have no idea about how fast you will notice the effect, but it will be good for the future, even if you get on medication.

A technique I use when reading is to sit in a computer/office chair and spin around while reading helps me concentrate. Any movement, even walking while reading helps, but at the same time the physical part can’t be enough to steal your attention. Walking back and fourth while reading does work out for me, but I find I get distracted by that as well, although a lot less then when sitting still. (And I’m inattentive, not hyper)

The bad part about caffeine is that after your high (roughly 20-40 mins) you have to land, and after you landed it’s very easy to feel more tired than before you took any. The good thing about it though is that after it cleared up “the fog” in your head it remains so, and I’d by that basis actually advice you to take caffeine a few hours before studying, and then exercise before you sit down.
