Hello everyone,

I'd love to hear your personal stories and honest reflections regarding ADHD medication. Whether you've been on it for a few weeks or several years, your perspective matters.

Could you share:

Initial Thoughts: What were your fears, hopes, or expectations before starting?

The Experience: What effects did you notice first (both positive and challenging)? How did it impact your focus, emotions, and daily routine?

The Balance: Looking back, how do you weigh the benefits against the side effects? Do you feel it was the right choice for you?

I get you. Do you miss 'the old you'? How old were you when the pandemic started?

I'm 40 now, and I struggle to see what a 'normal' brain could still achieve. It feels like the last 20 years made it impossible to build the network, leadership skills, experience, etc etc. With those foundations missing, can my remaining working years actually lead to a significant improvement in my quality of life?

What do you think?

    I'll just leave a quote here. It's from the uncertain times at the end of WW2

    ​“The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.” — Franklin D. Roosevelt
