Yes, I'd imagine that's what Sarah meant. Adderall works well for many kids with ADHD, but it isn't something I'd ever take, personally. It's amphethamine-like, or maybe a real amphetamine, and can cause addiction or dependence. Withdrawal can be bad. Sometimes we need these things, but I would try anything else, or go without, first.
Sarah, have you tried Amantadine? PastorDan's thread mentions this, and Shoshin describes it. I did try it and it had zilch effect.
