BEYOND MEDICATION
For me the college experience was really important. It was something I wanted. If I do this, I have to want it. I fought for it. There was a lot of time that I invested into it. It was self realization: the ADHD does affect me. It can’t be that my doctor says I have this. It is sad to me when people say, yes my doctor says I have ADHD and I have this medication to fix me, to help me do my homework. There isn’t that battle there. For me, even though I take some medication, I need to do it on my own. A college day is long. Most of these drugs are 6 to 12 hours tops. You can’t just rely on these drugs. I try not to take any after 6:00 pm so I can sleep at night. I study in chunks. I try to set at least 2 to 4 hours for studying when I take my medication. It is a waste to take the medication and then go play whiffle ball with my friends.
