Dr. Ned Hallowell states very clearly that his kids have benefited tremendously from medication. See for yourself at 16:00 of this YouTube interview with him at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtU7wGn5PAE

Drugs are not the only solution, but they can be an effective tool that allows us to refine our coping mechanisms appropriately.

I have been on both methylphenidate and amphetamine salts. The latter has been better. Is it a cure-all. NO. I would argue that I don’t even need it all the time if I am having an easy day. The symptoms are worse without it though.
