I was diagnosed adhd back in the early 70's by wiredog (4.00 / 1) #7 Fri Apr 18, 2008 at 07:38:59 AM EST

Before it was trendy, when they called it 'hyperactive'. Looking at report cards sent home by the first grade teacher (at a private school) something needed to be done.

I was on the meds for about 5 years, by which time I'd developed the habits needed to function appropriately so my took me off the meds.

I still can't sit still for more than a few minutes...

I don't doubt it exists by ucblockhead (4.00 / 1) #8 Fri Apr 18, 2008 at 10:10:27 AM EST

But I've heard lots of examples similar to the article.

: It's over-diagnosed and over-treated by wiredog (4.00 / 1) #9 Fri Apr 18, 2008 at 10:17:13 AM EST

Note that my parents took me off of the meds once I'd built up the necessary habits to function in school. These days, once someone is on the meds they tend to stay on them forever. You see people in their 20's who can't remember a time when they weren't on meds. A bit scary, actually.
