This depends on the dosage, but yes if you are shure that you have ADD, focalin will help you concentrate better, and make you not so "easily distracted". Just remember that different medicines can have different effects on people. I know from personal experience. I have ADD and ADHD pretty bad, so i have tried just about everything that there is. Adderal DOESNT WORK, it made me depressed and i never saw a difference. During this time i also started to notice that i was becoming non-social and started to lose some of my friends. There are many other medicines i have tried, and i am on Strattera AND FOCALIN right now and it is working great. It seems to have no effect on my personality, except i am actually making good grades in school because i can focus! Consult your doctor to see what is best for you, but overall focalin is safe, just DONT TAKE TO MUCH! Good Luck!

If you have an anxiety disorder and ADD will ADD medication make the anxiety worse?
It can, but it might not. ADD medications in the "stimulant" category--e.g. methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta, Focalin) and Adderall--while excellent medications for attention deficit disorder, can make anxiety symptoms worse. Strattera, an ADD medication not in the "stimulant" category, usually does not worsen anxiety symptoms. In fact, it might even improve them. On the other hand, there are excellent anti-anxiety medications available. So it would make sense to treat the anxiety at the same time as you're treating the ADD. Then both problems are solved.

Does focalin interact with antibiotics?
According to the drugs.com interactions checker, ADD medicines generally dont interact with antibiotics. I just got on an antibiotic for an ear infection today and need to take some focalin to prepare for a test tomorrow. I guess im going to take the chance, but im a little scared because ive never been on antibiotics before and ive always been very sensitive to focalin.
What can focalin do to a normal person?
Normal Person? Stimulants like focalin or adderall effect EVERYONE the same, even if you have ADD/ADHD. Focalin is the D isomer of MethylPhenidate. MethylPhenidate is structurally similar to Cocaine, the effects when snorted also act like a average grade dose of cocaine. Taking it orally will work much like cocaine just less of a rush. If you're looking for a ADHD drug "high", I would look more into Adderall (Amphetamine).
