Should I try to get diagnosed?

So, basically, I have a number of family members who have been diagnosed as ADD, and we share a lot of the same, eh, quirks. It’s pretty clear that I have it, but at this moment, I still manage to get nearly perfect grades. My parents have done research and are afraid of the side-effects of meds (and I don’t particularly want to have to try and remember to take something every day…I rarely get my vitamins as it is.) So, if it’s not really affecting my grades, is it worth it to get something like this checked out for other reasons?
