What To Do For Adhd Symptoms?

Hi, I was just wondering what to do about my adhd symptoms. I took a questionaire test at my family doctor. And he said I definitly fit the description. He put me on strattera which I couldnt take. He wanted to put me on another name brand add drug. Both were very exspensive even after insurance. He wouldnt even consider stimulants. Even though I know adderall actually helps me concentrate. Not sure what to do but its getting hard for me to focus.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. If your ADHD is new, or the symptoms came within a time frame or 6 months or so, the best way to approach it is with training to gain attention. Although ADHD has most often been treated with medication, medications do not cure ADHD; they are used solely to treat the symptoms associated with this disorder and the symptoms will come back once the medication stops. You might need psychotherapy to change your life style so as to get trained to beat ADHD and that is the perfect cure.

Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
