I have had ADD my entire life, however in 1st grade I was prescribed ritalin to calm me down. This is one of the most vivid memories of my life btw at that age, I told my parents I didn't need it and would flush the pills down the toilet everyday in school when I was supposed to be taking it. By taking the stand at that age I learned to control my mind and not allow it to affect me so much. I knew I didn't want to be on medication for something I didn't understand at the time. To this day it still affects me in class at times when I'm bored from the lecture, I get a tad ansy. When I'm irritated it shows through also. And at random times but all and all I believe I made the right decision to choose no drugs. If its really affecting me that badly then maybe but I believe I can control myself. The decision is yours, I don't know how severe your case is or isn't. Do you feel the need to be on drugs to control it? Or do they help you?
