True about the side affects. My view on that is, well, ADD and ADHD is (if im not mistaken) a chemical imbalance in the brain.. I have a hard time believing that anything BUT medication would work to reverse the symptoms..Did I say that right? You prolly get what I mean. I'm just fed up, now that I know that I have it..like there's no doubt I for sure have it, so I don't get why he wouldn't just make it official today. Being distracted and losing focus is holding me back from a lot of things that I enjoy, or at least making everything so much more difficult, and I'm only going to get depressed and feel helpless if I don't get better soon, or at least try and get better. Right now, medication is the only thing I'm looking foreward to.
