I have ADHD and have never been on a med in my entire life. We are over achievers who don't need straight A's to become great. Our attention wanders because everything seems too slow for us in an institution of learning unless it is by our pace (FAST) as our brains absorb information differently and in social ways much faster.

I am mad that people are not told that its OK to be diagnosed with ADHD and still not have to be told you need a drug to finish something in life. It is not a disease. It is a different mind that accomplishes things where the profession applies once we find it.

For example, there are many famous ADD/ADHD people who never did drugs. People who were voted least likely to succeed in class are very famous performers who have won Academy awards and had they been medicated I truly do not believe they would have ever ended up creating their life to a very joyous experience and to make it joyous for others.

You need enzymes and B long vitamins and phytosterols which are naturally in plant foods but are deficient and it does help you get an emotional floor to recover from the side affects you are experiencing. Also, those drugs are not benign, over long term use, it has been proven to cause neurological permanent brain damage to hormonal nerve receptors in the brain.

Also see he has a book, its not your fault its the drug. He is a phsychiatrist.

What I see is a young woman who is focusing more on her job and realizing she may not need to finish her degree if she is more interested in a different path in life and if you did make it a C to get by… Oh tuff titties for mom and dad. You did it, OK?

Your good enough, OK? Tell them to stick their drug where the sun don't shine and when you hit a wall in life don't resort to one, either. There is no drug that is going to be the miracle or your going to wind up chasing your tail like all the others out there who can't even go on vacation without taking all 5 medications with them.

One for nasea, one for anxiety, one for sleep, one for mania and one for who knows what all…

Stress does suck the B12 right out of the body and it can cause lethargy, so start with understanding that something as simple as that can help, too.

See and look up meds in the reference libary and the nutritional deficiencies they cause. You need to be in charge of your body and mind.
