Are Vitamins Prescribed To Diagnose ADD?

I think I have ADD so I went to my family doctor and she asked me a few questions and said she felt that my behavior towards some things was not normal, she was a little inclined to ADD so she prescribed me some vitamins (acutil) and said there were no miracle drugs . She said that after a month of taking them I should schedule another consult and visit her.
To be honest I don't feel any different taking the vitamins. Is this normal procedure to an ADD diagnosis?

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello,
Vitamins can not cure ADD. The first point is whether the diagnosis is accurate or not. I would advice you to take a second opinion from a psychiatrist. For ADD, stimulant medications are drug of choice. So get a correct diagnosis from your psychiatrist.
Thanks.
