It's just an excuse for being an annoying cunt.

Back in the day, we were just labeled "Hyperactive"

Totally agree. Now you get Ritalin for not being able to focus or drug abuse haha.
They even tell borderliners they have adhd/add so they can get medicine (which you otherwise cannot).

Crazy times.

All my life I have had "ADD" but my parents refused to put me on it, since they were both teachers they saw how kids reacted to it and opted not for it.

Poor grades in high school, due to just not paying attention in class and homework lead to this. Though in high school I also had a "learning disability", funny part seeing someone in "G/T" or known as "gifted and talent" side glasses with a kid who barely made grades to pass his other classes.

12 years after high school I decide to go talk to a doctor about things, lack of motivation to finish projects, Jumping projects to often and simply just not finishing things up without changing to another project. 2 or 3 visits later and I'm now on Adderall, but due to high blood pressure it was a low dosage, Adderall IR helped for only a few hours, then switched to Adderal XR 10mg. Well that helped a bit more. Then I got married after 6 months and stopped taking everything. Back to where I was before tried to deal with it off the meds. A year of not being on I decide to go back to the doctor, this time a new one due to a insurance change who upped my Adderall to 20MG XR since previously in his opinion was to low. And frankly I am now able to accomplish more than before.

Some people say this is the easy way out to do things. Sure whatever. If my insurance wants to help pay for my meds so I can live a better life I really don't care what others opinions are. I am happy and frankly thats all that matters.

Better living through modern chemistry ftw.

My son was a zombie and had no appetite when we tried using Ritalin many years ago. We decided we rather have our son's perky personality and normal weight back by skipping the drugs and live with the lower grades. The side effects are not worth the increase in grades. Besides, if you push hard enough, the teachers are required to accomodate the issue by providing extra time for assignments and tests.

Done correctly your kid should not of been in a zombie state, proper dosage it should keep them alert/aware. Not a zombie. I experienced the zombie state with Adderall when taking to much of it at once.

one day I will learn to check dates

big pharma to the rescue!

I might have it.

Moving along...
