Your symptoms seem like symptoms of being a teenager. You'll get over it – just wait a few years.
ADHD seems to me to be an attempt to control kids who have not otherwise been taught or parented, and to begin treating them with an amphetamine seems ludicrous! those used to be something that people were taught to avoid and say "NO" to when offered by illegal drug dealers, because they cause all manner of physical and mental health issues, up to and including death.
Stop labeling yourself. you say "I'm dyslexic". It's true that you MAY be. or there MAY be something to the whole ADHD thing, and you might have it. To take responsibility for your own actions, your own successes and failures, is a lot more important than the label – which is often just an excuse. yes, success or learning will be more difficult if you've truly got dyslexia. in the future, your boss isn't going to want the label – he'll want the skills to do the job and he'll want results. ADA won't even help if your "disability" interferes with the requirements for doing the job – like the nohow and care to do the job.
Speaking as a doctor and psychotherapist who treats ADHD, it is diagnosed based on behavioral symptoms. try this comprehensive list of ADHD symptoms and see if they apply to you.
