I don&#x27;t know, maybe.  The members of my family have the hyperactivity part of it, too.  But, the hyperactivity is like constantly staying moving (while learning) to avoid that discomfort.  And, I totally understand the distraction part and the need to feel overstimulated.  Now that I&#x27;m thinking about it more - it&#x27;s like I have to work extremely hard to remove my attention from the rest of the environment.  Almost like I&#x27;m taking in too much information, and it&#x27;s hard to shut out the other stuff.  Does that make sense?<p>But, that&#x27;s an interesting perspective, because all of the members of my family have some sort of bipolar, as well.  And, bipolar has co-morbidity with ADHD.  So, maybe that type of ADHD is different?<p>As far as NRIs, yeah I once had a panic attack (also co-morbid with bipolar and ADHD) and had to go to the ER.  The neurologist gave me an NRI, and it made me so absolutely sick - it was a feeling like someone twisting my brain inside out.<p>Also, I&#x27;ve had sleep studies done, and I&#x27;ve had no underlying sleep issues.
