Yup, I picked them up today. Tomorrow is my first dosage.

In my mid 20s I was told I was too high functioning for meds. That was a long time ago in a very conservative area that doesn't in general believe in mental illness.

I've been quite successful without them. I'm an executive as an example. But this job I'm struggling more than I have in decades, in some ways I feel like I'm in my early 20s again.

With some encouragement from the ADHD community here I gave it a go. The first provider wasn't helpful at all. The second one, bingo!

Started at 45. My Kiddo crying, food burning on the stove and Mrs Rachel on tv caused me to be immediately angry. Add rage is a thing apparently.

Since Anger is out of character for me, I went and got on meds. Life is much better now.

Congratulations op!
