"i was first diagnosed with adhd at the age of 6. my parents at the time decided against treating my illness with any form of medication. this was in the mid-90s during a time where adhd and adhd medications were very controversial. this led to self-medicating with prescription opioids throughout my teens and early twenties. it wasn&#039;t until several psychiatrists continued to stress the importance of treating my adhd that i finally decided to try the adderall. and i can proudly say that it changed my life and saved me from a serious drug addiction. i&#039;m now in my third year of school studying psychopharmacology. thank you adderall."
