Every screening and official diagnostic I’ve taken has me scoring max ADHD points and every time someone describes a symptom I’m left confused that other people don’t have them.

Will my personality change? I feel like being a disorganized disheveled loud interrupter is most of my personality at this point idk.

I’ve never done any stimulants beyond drinking a million coffees per day so i have some anxiety about this

    i feel like adhd meds are the closest thing to the drug from the movie limitless in real life but i still lose my keys all the god damned time so they’re not magic like the drug in limitless but they actually did cure my alcoholism, do incredible things for my social skills, and helped me move from dysfunctional to semi-functional. it’s a huge improvement for me.

      I forgot to mention that I wasn’t medicated until I was an adult. When I started to date my wife I was basically homeless. Things are different now, definitely. And still getting better actually. Been on meds for 10 years now but only recently got on meds for my migraines which at low levels can cause adhd like symptoms so i’m only now starting to see what I can really do with chemical assistance. it’s life changing stuff.
