Way to help me study and focus on my work?

im a college freshman and dont have any motivation to go to class..i go prob every other lecture so like thats once or twice a week..when i do go its difficult for me to pay attention bc my classes are so boring! i dont do any drugs or anything..but a lot of students here use adderall just to help study for tests. do you think if i took this in a low dosage before my tests this semester itd be harmful? itd only be a couple of times.

and also...does anyone know anything else i could take that could help me focus thats non-prescription and just like a natural remedy to boost my focus? i saw someone once recommended a herbal supplement that supports the body's natural ability to concentrate, assimilates information and regulate emotion, helps maintain a normal, healthy attitude during over-stimulation, and promotes relaxation and balanced mood, but this was only available online.

does anyone know of any supplements like that at cvs?
thanks for any help!

Dear Friend,

Having been where you are now, I totally understand. I used to fall asleep in classes. How embarrasing. Anyway, I believe the answer does not lie in chemicals to keep you going. I think it is vitamins. Like a combination of B-6, B-12 and folic Acid. It gives alot of people the energy and focus they need without drug side effects. Hey no sales pitch, just maybe, check it out if you want to o.k.? www.expectingtohelpu.com.

Ginkyo Biloba for brain function and concentration.

Rhodiola Rosea for tiredness and to help you keep alert and focus - also helps relieve stress.

there's a product called focus formula at the drug store. I don't think taking adderal is a good idea unless you have adhd and it is prescribed for you. Amphetamines can make some people mean. Sobe has an energy drink that works really well for me. I use it when I need a boost. (no Caffeine)

L-Tyrosine
DL- (or L-) Phenylalanine
Alpha GPC
Huperzine
NADH
B3
B6
B12

Inositol might help
Chromium picolinate might help

Ginseng might help
Ginkgo Biloba might help

Get a good quality fish supplement and a liquid formula B-complex.
Also, try to have more good quality protein in your diet.

Take a brisk walk- half an hour - daily to refresh your mind.

Do some yoga poses to relax you.
