    It’s never too late for the people that had parents that said “my kid isn’t crazy” and grew up unmedicated and without support. I was a giant fuckup until 35 when I went and got a diagnosis and support. Graduated top of my class at 38, bought a house, got married, and now working on my masters degree.

    Although… my meds have been on back order for the past two months…

      How does going off them affect you? I’ve always been hesitant to start medications for my issues because I worry what will happen if I lose my insurance or supply issues happen. It’s getting to a point where I’m running out of coping strats that actually work though…

        I have a stash because I tend to take on weekends or vacations unless I absolutely need it. I do this because I built up a tolerance at one point, and increasing the dose often left me gorked out.

        For me, adderal just affects my focus, I don’t have any ntocible mood issues that adderal improved. CBT was a bigger help for mood and impulsiveness.
