    Thanks so much for sharing your experience! I’ve been putting off making an appointment to work on getting a prescription, this thread has given me the kick I needed to finally make the call.

      That’s great! And I hope you follow through on the process, whatever that might be, even if it gets tiring - idk if you still have your childhood records; I didn’t and had to be re-screened. At least long enough to give one of them a try and see if it’s worth it for your adult self. The difference when you notice it is… eye opening if the meds are right for you. Imho a much better experience than being made to take them as a kid, since you have the capacity to reflect on it, and the autonomy to try different doses and uses to find what’s right for you.

      For me at least, I don’t really feel different, physically or mentally, but just sort of function differently. Things are a bit easier to start and follow through. Knowing I can take a pill and actually get through whatever project or task needs to be done is awesome and empowering. I hope you have a similar experience!
