I have it. As a child, I was a subject in many of the early studies.

I have found that for me, simply coping is the best thing to do. I'm not a fan of medication for ADD/ADHD -- at least, not in my case.

I have to second that, the two most likely types of medication are speed and something else, i forget what it's called, but it's been shown to cause cancer

heart attack at age 35 or cancer 50, i can just cope, well, I cna't just cope, but I cope better by myself than when hopped up on pep pills

Strattera doesn't cause cancer, and Ritalin (and other stims) are not speed though they shares similar qualities.

Methamphetamines can be used to treat ADD though I that's not exactly common.

ETA: it's actually Ritalin that had been linked to small incidences of cancer in animals, but the only source of info I could find was an Anti-ADD site. Sorry, but if you don't believe my disease exists, I don't believe that your numbers are real. In the real world, there hasn't been evidence of it, although there are some concerns. So it's both speed and a carcinogen if you're going to be picky...
