I have ADHD and would not ever go back to medication. My case is actually pretty severe. In grade school, I was an extremely... "energetic" child. Probably terrorized my poor teachers. I was on ritalin there for awhile. Didn't like it at all. So I quit taking it.

Once a child becomes a little older, they are capable of coping with the symptoms of ADHD. Adults are especially capable. It's just a matter of compensation. I had the same problem with dysgraphia (issues copying from a chalkboard for example to paper) I overcame that as well.

I really don't think drugging kids is a good answer, having been there and done that myself.
