Not usual treatment: This is not the usual treatment for ADHD Sweeping generalizations are dangerous themselves. It is possible that you misunderstood the doctor and he was trying to get you to take the medication for another condition . Clarify with your doctor and consider getting a second opinion .

It is important to find the correct combination of medications with your Psychiatrist. Have a physical exam to rule out illness. If you are not confident in your Dr. see another for a 2nd opinion. Medications are not sufficient since they do not teach you coping. Psychotherapy with a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy can help your medications to work better.
