Comment on ADHD Stimulants May Increase Risk of Heart Damage in Young Adultsparent

Comments

I’m in my first month of meds and I’d do anything that’s necessary to keep taking them.

I get it’s a catch 22 sometimes, especially trying to get diagnosed as an adult, but the benefits in my life have been immense.

I’d encourage you to muster the willpower (that we feel we lack so often) and book it if you can afford it. It took me years to get to this point and I wish I had done it sooner. Life is short, allow yourself to live it fully!

It's been many years now, there's no fixing anymore. The upwards trajectory stopped of course, but two years or so I got were enough to get me through college, into an okay job and even help me find a girlfriend. It's not ideal, but I'll live.
