I agree with other posters. A stimulant will probably increase the anxiety your daughter is experiencing. An anti-anxiety drug or medication for OCD seems more appropiate. Does your daughter show any signs of OCD symptoms like excessive hand washing or doing other repetive tasks? I had OCD as a child/young teenager and for me it was quite torturous. Never had ADD. As previous poster mentioned, smart kids are usually more concerned and self-conscious about health/safety issues. If this has gotten out of hand, medication may be appropiate. From what you mentioned, her attention difficuties seem to be the result of anxiety and/or OCD rather than ADD.
