Suggest medication to improve my concentration
Patient: I am a19 year old  female. I am currently on zoloft 100 mg for anxiety and depression(for 1 year). I was prescrbied wellbutrin  to offset the sexual side effects of the zoloft(about 6 months ago). I still have been having trouble concentrating and focusing on my school work. In school, it is difficult to focus for the duration of the class, I am usually day dreaming and simple assignments take me much longer to complete than it should. Outside of school, I have difficulty making simple decisions. It takes me a while to choose what I would like for dinner, minutes to decide which cereal I want or what flavor yogurt. Is there any medication that could help wth my attentiveness and ability to focus? Yet, can still interact with the medication I am currently on? Doctor: DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much.  There are no medication to improve your concentration. You are suppose to refer to concentration and attention as two. Attention span for any adult is maximum 30 minutes. Sometimes, a person can be attentive to an interesting thing for more than 30 minutes, such as movies or games. Concentration is attention plus understanding. For this too, span os below 30 minutes. If you are able to make your studies interesting and based on variable principle, your concentration level can be increased. Concentration comes only when you are interested in what you do. So please be passionate towards what you are doing or do only those things which you are interested in. It is also possible to improve your concentration level with the help of yoga, meditation and breathing exercises.Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement.
