well, my daughter has AD-HD,
and iv seen her with out it and its not pretty as she is over active and out of control,
but i had a close friend that had a son who wanted attention so he faked AD-HD and he passed all the symptoms (as he was copying my daughter) when he went home he got all the attention he wanted even at school the teachers let him get away with his behave and they didn’t give him homework or anything. after about 3-4 weeks of taking his medication he started to feel ill and sick all the time,
he went to the hospital and it turned out he was taking tablets(that’s how we found out). but the only ones he was taking was the medication for his "AD-HD" . he went back to the doctor who diagnosed him, and she undiagnosed him, now he cant get diagnosed for anything, so when hes older if he wants a disability, unfortunately he cant get one as he is band from getting diagnosed for anything,
all hes allowed is , tablets for sore throat and simple infections like that, but now he has depression and cant get medication for it.
what happened to him was,…
-he had a bad sickness
-he lost his concentration
-he had slouched speech
-he couldn’t think
-he had 24 hour headaches
the only reason i knew about this is because my daughter told me he was faking and then i told his mother, he got dun, she said to me she thought their was something wrong.
and i asked her what happened to him and that’s how i know about this.

I do not have ADHD but I do take Ritalin for my depression. It helps my energy level and concentration. I hope you are doing OK. Take Care.
