"Just a nitpick- culture bound syndrome applies to some thing that is "only within a specific society or culture," but ADD/ADHD is found in other places with a rather different culture "

I often times wish there was such a thing as despondex for some people...

Have any of you tried Adderall? I've heard it does miracles for ADD.

I want Adderall but my psychiatrist gave me Concerta XL. Extended release Ritalin, essentially. That said, the Concerta seems to work pretty well, anyway.

Stimulants have a funny effect on people with ADHD, given that methylphenidate (Ritalin/Concerta) is a stimulant chemically similar to amphetamines with effects more similar to cocaine and it calms people with ADHD down - stops them from getting hyperactive, at least. Tobacco (metabolised both as a stimulant and as a depressant) is quite helpful for dealing with the symptoms, too, but unfortunately it causes cancer.
