Try really hard to not take any of the drugs they are telling you to take. But work with the doctors on this. Tell them you want to do behavior modification therapy and don't want to take drugs. If your particular doctor is insistent on drugs and doesn't know what alternatives are available, tell him (or her) that you want alternatives and insist on a referral to a more holistic doctor - or a combo of less drugs and cognitive/ behavioral therapy.

I am partially thinking this "disorder" is failure of society to provide an environment that is not completely distracting and kids are getting diaged and given toxic drugs by the industry trying to sell drugs. Unplug you electronics and listen to nature more. Find ways to not let the instant world of communication pull you all over the place - including watching TV by surfing. Stick to one thing at a time. Take up a sport. Or martial art or yoga or tai chi. Go fishing. Eat better. Medication-Free Therapies Proven Successful in ADHD Treatment
