ADHD/ADD is an imagined disease, created by those who do not understand how a person who can process more information than they, operates. The teaching system and the work system does not understand the abilities and natural ways of acting of these people, and this is why we feel so hard to adapt to the old systems. It is natural evolution of the human being, being suppressed by those who want to keep us in control and medicate it away with feeling blocking chemicals. But it is a great skill. The ability to see things differently, to process more information at once, to build systems inside your head. Embrace this side of you. It is a great power, and medication only suppresses it. Learn to master it and you will become a master of yourself, and you will not need medication. Meditation & Yoga are the one methods that work for me, without any external help. It takes self-discipline, but it is definitely worth it. I have suffered with this way of thinking for my whole life, and I could not understand why I could not fit in. I struggled through my teen years, finding peace only in creating new things, usually in front of the computer. I have always somehow understood that the medication traditional doctors give is not right for us, but I had a long period where I used to medicate myself with cannabis. This worked for a while, but after about 3 years of doing this, I knew this was not the way. I had become addicted, was suffering when I didn't have any and always was thinking about the future and when I would get my medication. At the same time thought I started doing kundalini yoga and learning the skill of meditation more and more. The finding of kundalini yoga was a blessing, as first time in my life I felt I had true power within me, without needing any help from outside. I struggled with letting go of cannabis for a long time, but finally I managed to do it. Now I've been totally sober for 7 months and feeling better than ever. I have replaced meditation with medication, and focusing on the inner strength instead of outer strength. This has allowed me to focus my ever wandering mind I am a programmer by day and night, and meditation and yoga really helps me concentrate and keep my mind clear even during stressful times at work. Find your inner strength. Throw away your medication. Throw away the limiting factor of identifying with ADD/ADHD. It is only an invention of those who do not experience it themselves.

I will disagree with the "It is natural evolution of the human being..." part. Not that it is not true, but it conveys the wrong message. Cancer is a natural evolution too, but evolution of the human being is different than evolution of the human kind. I myself have been diagnosed with Aspergers' and, while I appreciate the diversity of my thought process, I can understand why people with the same condition might feel inclined to clip the unconventional aspects of their self. The human kind has evolved as a social organisation and participation in the club is somehow strict. Medication or meditation, it still is an attempt to join the club. And it is the fact that you accept the club's peace interpretation that leads you to either. That said, I would rather meditation to medication too. Still, that depends on the severity of the case. As an Aspergers' with an Autistic son, if there was medication for my son I would surely try it. Normality is a bliss. Sometimes being a tree in the middle of the desert is not better than being a sand grain.
