As I mentioned before, I definitely think there is some crossover between euphoria and increased ability to focus and function.

But I don't believe it's strictly euphoria or they would prescribe MDMA or Heroin or Cocaine for ADHD.

Dopamine apparently plays a big role in focus, but it also governs motivation and reward. With this in mind, I'd say that you have to address drive/motivation/desire to address attention. And I'd say that these attributes can be related to euphoric feelings - I find it hard to pay attention to something uninteresting when I feel bad because the subject feels pointless.

I don't know if Ritalin has ever helped you, but the generic version is dirt cheap in the US. I will tread lightly here, because I don't know all the specifics, but I've read that with a prescription, there are legal ways to buy certain meds overseas. Maybe someone who knows the law can chime in here...
