I am there with you on that. I don't feel I am mentally ill, but I do feel better when taking my ADHD meds. I recently discontinued one of them (Wellbutrin) for several months but I just felt "better" while taking it and was more functional and productive and motivated. So just a few days ago I decided to go back on it again. Maybe I don't truly "need" it but I feel and function better while taking it. Is that reason enough to take it? I don't know. At least for now, I'm choosing to take it again. Maybe I will change my mind and quit again sometime in the future.
