> My decision is really whether to try the meds or not, since it still seems its a matter of diagnosis by prescription.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Or, for that matter, that it really matters if you have a diagnosis. That's just a way to make it easier to think about. Who cares if it 25 years from now your symptoms are classified ADHD or Bipolar XXVII or an allergy to cabbages?

I'm also seriously disorganized. I know I have many of the symptoms of ADD. (I'm both too sleepy and, ahem, too disorganized to describe them in more detail tonight.) I have no idea whether I should be diagnosed or not and I don't really care. But I tried stimulants and I did find them helpful.

If you try them you'll know very quickly whether they help you or not unlike antidepressants or mood stabilizers. So why not find out.

I also found some of the organizing tips I found in ADHD self help books useful.
