I have very strong reasons for not preferring medications. They broke me and made me worse. I know my experience isn't typical, but when my state's premier specialist on AD/HD became irritated with me because I couldn't take meds (He wanted me to be on Dexedrine, but it caused facial, tongue, and vocal tics within the first day so I immediately discontinued their use) and had nothing to offer me for help with my AD/HD, I knew there was a problem with the industry.
It's hard being the lone little voice out here preaching the powers of mind and attitude over mood and disability. To some people I keep company with Scientologists, and herbologists, and aromatherapists, and who knows what else out here on the fringe (Phrenologists?). I can't say it's comfortable company to be lumped in with since I am not affiliated with any of them, but it does make for some lively discussions on each of my columns. LOL
