R.L. Kramer was diagnosed with ADD at age 7. From there, by way of contemporary child-psychiatry, he was prescribed amphetamine stimulants. He took amphetamines on and off for 16 years, through college, biked across the country, isolated in a cabin, taught preschool, bound books and ultimately found healing without medication with assistance from plant medicines and learning how to grow up and how to focus without pharmaceuticals. In this honest and inspiring memoir, Kramer shares his journey from a young boy struggling with ADD to a man who has found peace and success without medication. He offers hope to others who are struggling with ADD, parents and loved ones of those who do and anyone else who is eager to observe the phenomenon of ADD treatment with stimulants through the experience of one individual as he provides valuable insights into the nature of the disorder and how to overcome it.
