Maybe. Have you talked to your pdoc about the adhd?

My son's adhd results in a real restlessness for him. Without meds, he literally paces almost constantly. It reminds me of a caged animal that just paces from one side of its cage to the other, back and forth, for hours. Is that the kind of restlessness you experience? When he was in elementary school, they actually put a special seat of some kind (can't remember what they called it) on his chair that helped him settle into his chair a little deeper so he wasn't constantly figetting. Something about the seat was physically calming to him. He also has very short memory--kind of out of sight, out of mind for him. His other big adhd problem is a pathological disorganization--organizational skills are like a foreign language to him.

He does have boredom issues, but those really are more depression based than adhd based. In fact, he's starting on depression meds tomorrow. Sometimes boredom is more about depression than actual boredom; it's that apathy that depression can set in.

On medication, the pacing/figetting is MUCH less pronounced, his ability to focus is better, and with effort, the organization is at least a bit more manageable. Not a cure by any means, but it does make life more manageable. He MUCH prefers to be on his adhd meds than off of them.
