Hello there,

I am a univeristy student in my early twenty. I was diagnosed with ADD two-three years ago...back then I tried medication wellbutrin and felt that it did not work and somehow made me agitated little bet and have kind of involuntary shaking. then decided to quit it after a month.
Even though I have been suffering from procrastination and attention problems for my entire life. but I would always be able to do some last-minute actions. For example I would not study if i had an exam but when I had I used to be able to focus and study the material before 2 or three days and that gave good results despite the fact that I could have don lot better.
Anyways in the last couple of months I lost the ability to focus completely even if I have a major exam.....
I would think of doing every task in the world except studying and reading and starting the task that I am supposed to be starting. that is not only for exams that is for almost every task... having to make a call or having to talk to someone or submit an application etc etc .....And these made me pretend all sort of reasons to postpone the task but even if I postpone it i wouldn't be able to complete it later on !!
Moreover I am sick of losing and forgetting where I put my keys and wallet campus card, debit card, etc ...it is also embarrassing. last time when I needed to replace my lost visa the employee bursted laughing telling me that I have lost the cards too many times. also when went to the university office to replace my newly issued now lost campus card I forgot my cell phone at their office.
Not to mention the side effects of ADD on other domains of my life...for example non-existing social life ...loosing my fit body shape...etc
Last I would like to mention that I do not like intelligence...actually i used to be on top of my class in high school and middle school but i believe that i used to cope to make my parents happy which never worked when i became more mature in my late teens.
I am going to visit a doctor...I hate medications ....am too weak to stick to a self monitored behavioural strategies to cope with ADD. Counselling is very damn expensive and it is not covered by my insurance. WHat do u suggest that I do ??? or should i just give up ?
