I take it legally and I still don't get a 4.0 in my classes. LOL. I wish it worked the same way as it works on the people who don't have ADD.

Yeah, when I feel a little sleepy I do a couple lines of coke and I'm ready to crack the books. :roll:

Is ADD or ADHD for that matter chemically identified in the brain. Or is it subjective based on the doctor's opinion?

Yes it has been, and it can be identified but in most cases the doctor just does a case history and talks with the patient for a bit.

The reality is, it is way over prescribed and many doctors do not do a proper diagnosis of ADHD before something like Adderall is prescribed.

I got offered some for $3/pill today. Too bad I've never felt the need, cause that's not a bad deal.

Now if only I could get some weed on this freaking campus. My drug dealer friends deal all the drugs that no one needs, shrooms and aderall :p

Doctor's opinion or it's simply a kid who wasn't taught how to be self disciplined.
