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!

Kudos to you!! Advocating for ourselves particularly with something that has brought us so much shame (in my case anyway) is incredibly difficult.

In my few experiences getting to meds isn't a straight path and can take effort and consistency. Something were not good at at all. Use whatever resources or loved ones you can to get what you feel you need!
