This is what the FAA said to me: "After evaluating your recently submitted medical, we have decided to deny your application request. Please submit a detailed report from your flight instructor or other qualified evaluator next year on XXXX date in the form of a progress report. Also, you need to be off of any perscription drugs for ADHD indefinatley."

There's my story with that, I now have had a First class since it was approved a year later and have had no problems. I found that in recent studies, the prescriptions have an interesting effect, with ADHD, the prescriptions contain large amounts of Stimulant! so my alternative, Precription Medicines = Coffee... that probably would have been perfect in the first place!
