Yup, I picked them up today. Tomorrow is my first dosage.
In my mid 20s I was told I was too high functioning for meds. That was a long time ago in a very conservative area that doesn’t in general believe in mental illness.
I’ve been quite successful without them. I’m an executive as an example. But this job I’m struggling more than I have in decades, in some ways I feel like I’m in my early 20s again.
With some encouragement from the ADHD community here I gave it a go. The first provider wasn’t helpful at all. The second one, bingo!
Alcohol does get a stronger effect on people who use ADHD meds. My psych told me that and I’ve experienced it as well. Its a thing. Def gotta be careful about that. And this is all solid advice.
To OP, congrats man! Hope the meds help 😁
