What About ADHD Medication
I have been asked if I avoid meds. I don’t avoid them but they are not my first choice. Because I’m an ADHD Coach I don’t give specific advice on meds but I have a point of view.
I like Dr. Amen’s approach of using meds only after trying everything else and not to rely only on the meds. Too many people take the meds but will not eat right, exercise, get enough sleep, etc.
Thom Hartmann in his many books talks about how ADDers are like the hunter/gatherers. Most of us however have to live in and interact with this linear world. To do that we sometimes need meds.
I believe if ADDers can live the right kind of life style they would not need meds. So if you can have the kind of lifestyle and job that lets you do what you love and gets you outside in the fresh air and sunshine doing something physically active you may not have any use for the meds.
