there is nothing bad about adhd medication that is worse than occasional insomnia and appetite loss.
benefits vs. side effects
you have to trade something to get something
in our day and age adhd medication has such minor side effects if you consider that it basically allows your frontal lobe to work properly

No, it does not necessarily mean that you will have to take medicine for the rest of your life. Some people out grow the disorder in their 20s or 30s when their brains have finished maturing, but others have it through their entire lives.
Medication is the most successful way to treat ADD/ADHD. Some psychologist/psychiatrists/therapist may be able to teach you how to handle being off medication and maybe you can learn how to combat the short attention span, compulsions, and hyperactivity, but medication is generally the prefer route.
I was diagnosed with ADHD in the third grade, and now I’m 22. I tried being off medicine for a while in high school, but ultimately I went back on it. My day feels off when I don’t take it and I can definitely tell the difference. Taking my medicine has become second nature, anyway. I just kind of do it without thinking.
