The effects were slowly going away day after day and today was day 4 and it's done literally nothing for me. Horrible mood, really tired, my trichotillomania (which it's kept at bay for the first 3 days) back in extremely full force. Etc etc. I thought if a med isnt for you it just wouldn't work at all even at first?
It kinda doesn't feel real omgggg. cuz I've suspected I had adhd when I was 15, but no one really helped me navigate that. I've tried like 5 different times to get diagnosed but various reasons stopped the completion.
Hyperfixated on adhd for a few years, doing so much research and stalking the various subreddits to see if i really have it or if I'm overthinking. By now (21 yo) even before this diagnosis I became certian i did so while having the official diagnosis makes me soooo bloody happy and relieved that all these years my feelings and concerns were valid, i also realised i still doubted that i have it.
so im a bit lost. i'm set to start elvanse in a few days (god, even saying that feels unreal wtf do you mean IIIII'M gonna be taking adhd meds???), but im scared because im hoping it will fix everything but i know that it wont.
What should i expect from meds? how should i take advantage of the benefits and what lifestyle stuff should i start to implement to make life easier?
