So hi all you cool fediverse thingies,
(Edit: I just realized I posted this on ADHD memes. Can’t stop being a clown)
After an odyssey I’ve been finally diagnosed at 18 of age with “a textbook example of ADHD” (-my psychiatrist) and high QI. Lmao I wish.
They gave me 30gm of lisdexanfetamin (Elvanse) and I just took a pill a few hours ago after getting up.
The thing is that I’m not feeling a single thing different in any way and I don’t even what should I be expecting. I might be scared of having expend more money and time because of the dosage not being right…
How were your first moments/days/weeks with medication? (I you don’t mind sharing).
I don’t want to fail uni. :c
My wife was undiagnosed until she was 26. When she started on medication there was no immediate difference that she noticed. She had always been very good academically and did well in high school, uni and work so she was torn about whether she really even needed the meds given how well she got by. It became pretty clear over time as she started though that it really helped with preventing her becoming overwhelmed and helped her stay on task much better. Now she wonders just how well she could have done in high school and uni had she been diagnosed earlier.
All that said, ADHD is different for everyone so your mileage may vary. Give it a little time and follow the doctor’s orders and see what works for you. We went through a few different medications before finding one that really hit the spot!
