are you on medication right now?

(if so, which one? and how long have you been taking it..?)



i have ADD, too (predominantly inattentive).. but i refuse to take the medication i was prescribed. i'm being stubborn. (partly because it was making me feel like i was having a heart attack, but mostly because i hate the idea of taking medication to "fix" myself.)


so, i've been on the lookout for some natural remedies... but so far, these are the only ones that i've heard of:

-omega 3 fatty acid supplements (or in liquid form)
-grape seed extract
-St John's Wort
-Kanna/sceletium tortuosum
-cardio
-yoga/pilates
-multivitamins (make sure you're getting enough calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, B vitamins, and vitamin C)
-diet alterations (no food additives, food dyes, chemicals, dairy, processed foods, refined sugar, etc... plus lots of fruits and vegetables, healthy fats, and things like that).

...and i'm sure there's something else that i'm forgetting... (haha)

if i remember what else i was gonna say, i'll be back to let you know.
