Suggest Treatment For ADHD

Hello, I was diagnosed with ADHD by my pediatrician in light elementary school. My parents did not want to "medicate" me since I was a child. As I got into middle school and high school they did choose to want to medicate so it would help with my schooling but I didn't want to take the medication because I told them I could handle it on my own and I was fine. As I have gotten older I realize it's never gotten better and I have just fought it but now as a 31 year old full time working mother of 3 I do need the medication to fulfill daily tasks at work and home. Our schedule is so crazy I feel like I am just spinning around starting something and never finishing before moving onto the next project. I don't recall which mediation it was my parents tried with me a few times as a child but I know at this time I need it agin because this can be debilitating. Thank you so much. Ashley
