I was diagnosed with ADD and put on adderall, I was a zombie on that stuff. During 8th or 9th grade I just stopped taking it and refused it when ever I could despite what my foster parents and caseworkers said.
No I’ve graduated and I’m in college with out help from any medication.
While ADD/ADHD is real I think it was way over diagnosed and medicine treating them is over prescribed.

I feel like I lack almost any self control though without it, and I haven't even taken the medicine.
