Hear, hear. I tried to make it work without medication - to be honest I didn't even know I had ADHD - and all that resulted was complete burnout, depression and self loathing at being unable to accomplish more. I had just enough energy to pull through the working day and not much else.

The medication has freed me. It has removed the ball and chain from my brain. It has saved my career and is pulling me out of a lifetime of coping mechanisms.

Now I just need a notepad and a TODO list, which I use religiously to keep track of everything. Previously todo lists were a fad for me that I wasn't able to keep up with for more than a week.
