I have family with ADHD, and one of them really struggled with the concept of medication. They did not want to go on it. After multiple conversations with their doctor, and other friends and family, they decided to give it a try based on one thing: ADHD meds are very short acting, and if you hate it all you need to do is quit taking it.

So they tried it out and were blown away with what a difference it made in their life. They were in school at the time, and it made a huge difference on their ability to focus. They've talked about how they had no idea life could be this way. They do still take days off, which is their comfort zone with ADHD medication now.

You have to do what's right for you, but try not to talk yourself out of something you've never even tried.

I have heard similar stories. I will give it some thought. I have had some family break down so I am a little concerned I could stretch myself to far. ironically though when you have so much to keep going its hard to take a risk on changing what you do.
