I agree with you! I was never diagnosed as a child when I shoudl have been. And I was only diagnosed about a year ago.....I struggled for so long and I always knew something was wrong but never could quite put it into words.

I wanna avoid holidays at their place - any advice?

That anxious feeling when you’ve been putting off a non-urgent project, but now it’s become an embarrassingly long time (2+ months) because nobody has followed up in the interim to put some pressure on you… I need to finish it and face the music, but really not looking forward to it. Can anyone relate/any tips to minimize backlash?

I have ADHD and it is affecting my family life. I forget commitments I make to my wife literally SECONDS after making them, and it is so defeating to be so consistently unreliable. At work I have enough systems set up to help me keep up with my deadlines etc, but struggle to find solutions for home life. Any tips? I am not medicated yet, but am not against starting. I just don’t know if it helps throughout the day or only for a few hours. TIA 😭

What are the side effects of a small dosage of Adderall? I am thinking about getting tested, as this bowl has made me realize I may need to be. What has been keeping me from doing so for years was fear of being put on medication, but now I feel like although I’m almost 40, my career would vastly benefit from being diagnosed, or at least ruling it out.

For those of you who take medication in the morning, when do you take it? I usually take mine when I get to the office, but I’m starting to feel like that’s cutting into my workday productivity. I’ve heard people say they take it right when they wake up, but I worry it will wear off too early if I do that.

On days when I don’t have a full workload, it’s very (I think way too) easy for me to blow off the entire day either reading news/social media and doing other things not relevant to work. I also have a habit of wanting to focus on anything but what I need to get done. Can anyone relate to either or both of these and possibly a sign of ADD/ADHD? I have an appt with my primary care doc next week but been curious about this tendency of mine for awhile.

I have a prescription for Vyvanse. Even without Vyvanse, I have diagnosed generalized anxiety. On top of that, depression runs in my family. It’s not a diagnosis, but I suspect it’s there. Vyvanse certainly doesn’t help the anxiety, especially when I’m coming down off it for the day. I want to ask my doctors about an anti-anxiety/depression meds, but does anyone here take ADHD meds and those other meds at the same time? I’m worried about the drug interactions/potential physical effects. TIA.

Tired of my pharmacy.

It’s a pointless phone call. Why do I have to repeat these shenanigans every month?! Is it just Rite Aid? Is CVS any better? So irritating.
