I'm 15, really hyper constantly, can never pay attention in class, and I think I have ADD. I took an adderall I got my friend today and it made me pay attention so much in class and focus on my work, rather then playing games on my phone and talking. I constantly have teachers ask me if I have ADD/ADHD and I tell them not that I know of even though I have all the symptoms of ADD. I told my mom today I wanted to be tested for ADD and she told me "no" because I would have to be on medication (adderall) and she says it will make me "zombie like" What should I do to convince my mom to get me tested? I'm certain I have ADD, and the adderall I took today really helped me and my teachers were surprised that I was actually doing my work for once. Any help? I also have pretty bad grades because I cant concentrate while doing my work/homework.

The thing is my mom wont take me to the doctors because she doesn't want me taking a pill everyday, and she thinks I don't do my work because i'm "lazy"

I have the same issue, I take a pill. doesnt help much tbh.
But I would Tire yourself out, I stay up late and that lowered my energy level, or try sitting at the front of your class.
Goodluck.
