I got diagnosed with ADHD back in my 20's and medication helped a lot at the start. I eventually got off Vyvanse though and relied more on routines and systems to help keep me on track and from feeling overwhelmed when things get busy. It's weird how you think of it one way, but it never really occurred to me that I could actually have ADHD until I started really reading about how it presents in adults and how the hyperactivity is like a kid being hyper and bouncing off the damn walls. Yeah there have been times in my life where I feel like I have been able to do very well. It was mostly when I was able to get an exercise routine going regularly. Somehow that helped me stay on track with other things. I've been trying for years to get back to that but I just can't seem to do it. I've been making some progress lately. kind9 posted... I was diagnosed with ADHD and tourettes like 25 years ago. The tourettes diagnosis was because of "nervous ticks", whatever that is. I took some medication for a while, but it gave me hives so I stopped taking it and haven't taken anything since. If those things still affect me I don't really notice. Well it's good that you don't feel bothered by it anymore. The side effects of some medications sometimes make it feel like it's not even worth it. Sounds like it turned out okay for you. It wasn't even necessary to try a different medication. :) <cite>GunslingerGunsl posted [p:949789149] in My therapi...
