trying to stop taking meds | ADHD Information

Hi
   I've was diagnosed about 2 years ago and I have been taking concerta for about 13 months of that. I often come off the med because I don't like all of the side effects, most notably the sexual ones. The weight loss aspect of it is great, but I have found that when I don't take the concerta I eat sweets like crazy and gain it all back. The cravings subside after awhile, but I don't like taking this stuff. Mind you, I managed to get through college without it, but I certainly notice a difference in my work product at my job when I am taking the med. I feel like a bit of a cop-out because I'm taking the easy route by taking the med, but I'm even worse now when I am off it than I was before I ever started taking it!! Someone help peel me off the ceiling and tell me something to help me!!You know, I once complained I had no shoes until I met a man with no feet.
I've been reading alot of the other posts out there and I don't think that my situation is anywhere near as bad as most. I don't have any issues like bi-polar mood swings or depression. I get a little freaked out from time to time because I don't think I have gotten as far in life as I feel I should be, but truthfully my situation isn't all that bad. I'm not going to take anymore meds for this and I am going to deal with the mild ADD I have (I think its pretty mild from looking at the posts here) and deal with it through prayer. I will also pray for everyone here.    
thanks anyway ya'll!
