As a person with ADD, I don't like taking the medications. It makes me feel like a zombie and emotionally dead inside. I hated it. It stripped everything of me but made me "productive" (as in acing school work - which did brilliantly). However, I feel it wasn't worth it.

It took months just to feel normal again. For those who were wondering, I took a mix of short and long releasing stimulants. Although, I mainly blame the short releasing ones for most of my troubles.
