My school recommended the following to me which has proved very helpful in my experience:
First, get a reputable clinical psychologist to do a full "psycho-educational assessment." (maybe ask the school psychologist and/or learning disability center to appoint one).
Then, ask your General practitioner to refer you to either a Psychiatrist or Neurologist. Take the assessment with you and present it to them.

What happens to someone who has been misdiagnosed and has taken ADHD medication for years?
Nothing. I'm guessing that one doctor told you that you had ADHD and then another doctor told you that you didn't. This doesn't necessarily mean that either one was wrong. Most doctors now will say that ADHD is a disease, but some stubborn conventional doctors still say that ADHD isn't a disease but a personality, or that it doesn't exist. They are right in a way, but whether ADHD is a disease, a personality, or nothing at all, ADHD medications definitely help a lot of people. -DJ Craig
