Rand – from what I know, which isn’t much (but probably more than most), and what I have seen and heard on this site, etc. I would not invest my money in any program, expensive program, offering help or cure of ADHD. Certainly there would be some benefit, possibly huge benefit for some, but results are not guaranteed, nor do they seem to be lasting. Beware of what you may read to the contrary by other “members”, they may be a wolf indisguise.
Instead, I would look at cheaper alternatives such as luminosity, or one of the books on “brain exercised and health.” If these seem to help, it may be an indication that a program such as Cogmed may be of benefit. Other than that, I would think that, like meds, it may or may not work, depending on the particulars of your symptoms.
I think toofat had some great ideas he uses, several of which I have discovered on my own. They are on the thread: http://totallyadd.com/forum/topic.php?id=2266#post-20616
The first and most obvious things to do are make sure you’re getting enough sleep, exercise, and healthy food. Then go from there.
