I agree....some of the most sucessful people I know are currently taking ADs (a partner in the law firm where I work, a friend who's a doctor, etc.). Making sure you're on the right med is important so the side effects (if any) don't interfere with your life but there is certainly nothing inherent (I don't think) in taking AD meds that will sabotage your grades or chances for sucess. I second the idea of presenting your mom with some medical lit. or facts and if that doesn't calm her fears just remember (not to sound too cliched, no one is living your life but you and ultimately you alone are responsible for doing what's right for yourself.
