@Joyce: in the original ADHD movie that started this site, please note the comment that Ritalin (i.e. stimulants) have been used safely for over 40 years, and is one of the few drugs to last that long on the market. Adderall is newer but similar, and seems to have the same effect(s) as Ritalin, but in short, while there are pitfalls, few, if any, drugs are as well proven as Ritalin for being effective and safe. View the video or maybe it’s on one of the short ‘tutorial’ ones? I think it was the Doc with the sandy coloured beard.
Not to lecture, however I suggest analysis paralysis is not advisable, but research and action might be a better avenue? Then again, I’m not an expert, just a self taught ADHD’r bumping along through life. Jim
