Turns out I was just a growing kid, and talking in school seemed much more interesting than work.
Just saying, I think stimulants might actually be a crutch. I don't think anyone really needs them. Turns you into a zombie and women can sense this. Why not try some Ginko or Nootropics?
If you do take em, its my recommendation that you take the lowest dose possible. Probably 25% of what they would recommend. That sh** is powerful.
So I assume as an adult you no longer have any of the ADHD symptoms? Well I still have to go for my final clinical assessment; I might not have it at all, I wonder how your Doctors managed to misdiagnose you.
I have tried a lot of stuff like Nootropics, braining training, hypnosis, spiritual healing, meditation, gadgets and gizmos but after reading a Yale University book by Dr Brown called Attention Deficit Disorder http://www.amazon.co.uk/Attention-Defici...0300119895 , he shows case study after case study of clinical trials done that show that medication is the most effective treatment on the planet, after reading it you just want to run to the nearest pharmacy and get some pills.
Also another doctor on Youtube said that If you become a zombie it proves that your medication isn’t right and you need an adjustment. Who can really know though, doctors could be bought to say anything and the drug corporations makes trillions .
So am guessing your parents took you off it because you became an obedient zombie and things got boring around the house?
"That sh** is powerful" Am curious what does it feel like, I just watched Limitless the other day although a bit tooo much in TV LAND and am expecting my whole life to change productivity wise
EDIT:
What is the difference between Nootropics or stimulates?
If you can't manage the little you have now, who will trust you with more, if you can't control yourself long can you rule over others for? Its easier for a king to rule a kingdom than himself and who does want an empire? Being unconquerable lies with yourself!
