[quote=Anonymous]I feel terrible for the kids of PP who is SO strongly against medicating. Having experienced it, I assure you unmedicated ADHD is no fun. You feel constantly out of control and unable to do what you want. Then, people like PP blame you for losing your keys/forgetting that appointment/not being able to sit still by saying you're not trying hard enough. Or that you didn't learn the right techniques. Medication doesn't solve everything, but it tamps down the craziness enough that you can learn some coping skills. At this point, I don't take any medication, but I had plenty of time to get strategies in place that can help me manage. People should remember that trying ADHD meds doesn't mean you have to stay on them forever. If you don't like them, you just stop taking them. [/quote]
