I'd quarrel with the "responsible" part. I assume this was a general practitioner? Many of them are very reluctant to prescribe amphetemines. Rather ironic since they tend to want to hand out SSRI's like candy. But yes, this was one doctor's opinion. I would suggest seeing a specialist. The alternate, equally possible theory is that your ADD isn't mild, you are just very good at compensating. But this would be an ongoing process and resulting stress. Just think, what if you didn't work so hard to be normal, what could you do?
