If you are functioning fine and doing well in school, why take medication??? Have you ever considered that your ADHD is a manifestation of other deeper issues that make it hard for you to focus as well as you think you could? Anxiety alone can manifest in ways very similar to ADHD symptoms. Then there are the deeper issues that are causing the anxiety. This is where therapy comes in. There could also be underlying anger and depression. You don't necessarily have to feel like you have a problem with depression/sadness, anger, or anxiety for any of them to be present and affecting your behavior in some way. Just food for thought. Things are usually much more complex than what we want to believe in this blame everything on the way I was born and simply take a pill to make it better world.
