I can relate. I got ADHD as well and while the medication helps me focus when I am working, it doesn't help with staying on task or even beginning.

It doesn't help not wasting an entire day just day dreaming about stupid action-packed shit either :-/.

Let me know if you ever find a medication or solution that works. My only trigger is music, nothing else. I noticed the author wrote Fluvoxamine worked, I will see if my doctor would prescribe it.

ALSO WOW.... I thought I was alone. It never occurred to me that I should google this, I just naturally assumed i was alone in this. This is some crazy shit.

I remembered what helped me with a more or less similar problem: plain old "focusing on the now / present / just this second".

1. You can look into plain/western mindfulness meditation (the science-based non-mystical flavor of it): http://palousemindfulness.com/selfguidedMBSR.html

2. Or look into the buddhist way of arriving to more or less the same thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nasIq4E9nNg

3. Or, my favorites and much more western-friendly versions of the same message of "just live in the now, accept the present as it is and work with it, instead of evading into dream-land":

...the other thing maybe that you're just meant to live a more action packed life than you actually do. If nothing works, forget the medication and just go join the military or find something else that can give you enough "action-packed shit"... the world is pretty "rough and wild" if you go out of your USA/UK/EU "walled garden" you know. Go volunteer for the red-cross or other humanitarian organization in a conflict-zone African country for example. Some people actually need this and just fantasizing about it instead of getting it is just sad and wasteful.
