Problem with concentration

I would not say that this is a direct product of surgery since I am almost 18 months post-op, but lately I am having attention defiect type syptoms. I cannot keep my mind focused on anything! I am in college full-time at night, work during the day part time, and try as I might, nothing is sticking in my head anymore. If I try to read a textbook or even read for pleasure, my mind wanders off onto other things while I am trying to read. When my husband or son are talking to me, I am thinking about something else, and have to ask them to repeat themselves. I do not have any insurance anymore, and cannot afford to pay for a visit to the doctor, so my question is- Does anyone know if there are non medical helps for this problem? Maybe a herbal supplement or something? It is so frustrating to try and concentrate when your mind is going 90 miles an hour in other directions!!! Thanks for any ideas in advance.
