>Adderall totally changed that. I'm able to focus on tasks long term AND even if something bad happens in my life I'm able to keep right on track
That sounds amazing. I can't even imagine that. I've just been diagnosed at 32 this year. Been on Ritalin for a few months but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Maybe 3% better. Things going bad still derails me significantly.
They're fairly conservative with meds in my neck of the woods, but I'm going to persist with my doctor to try them all to find what works.
The struggle to push through actually going through all the phone calls, emails and appointments necessary to get to that point is very un-ADHD friendly. So many times I considered just to give up and forget about it.
I have a friend that I’m positive has ADD. He agrees with me it’s a possibility but it stops there. He was even given stimulants by someone but he hasn’t tried them. He’s not opposed to it, but he’s so bad he never gets around to popping that pill. Actually setting up a doctor appointment is never going to happen.
He’s 33 and has been in college since graduating high school and still doesn’t have a degree, and he’s actually quite intelligent.
