Our son was diagnosed years ago with ADHD, BiPolar Disorder, and a few things I'd never even heard of, and his shrink did the whole "family consultation" thing. She met with him, met with my wife and I separately, and then all together. At some point, she suggested I try taking something that would help me feel less stressed and a bit more accepting and mellow in general. At the time, I was willing to try anything, so I did.
It was interesting. I did feel less stressful and generally mellower. She strongly recommended against drinking coffee while taking the pills, though, and that was a tough one. Less stressful is good, but getting your work done is also good, and not being as efficient at work was causing stress and countering the effects of the pill. So I gave up the pills and went back to coffee. It's cheaper, too.
