I had trouble concentrating for the last year. For me, it got better about a month ago - I think it was just a symptom of depression that was really persistent. I'm not sure what made it finally ease up either. My T suggested some strategies for reading more efficiently, like using a piece of paper to direct where your eyes are on the page, and stopping to ask yourself questions on what you have read to make sure that you are taking it in. And make sure that you study in a good place without distractions, not on your bed, etc.

Also, my sister (who is a psychiatrist) suggested trying a med called Strattera. I didn't, but you can ask about it.

I have been a full time student for the last year also, and it has sometimes been really hard to do my studying, but I kept at it and made lists for myself of what I had to do for each class, and I have been getting A's.

Good Luck!
