So Ive been on my ADHD meds since I was 6. And now im dependant on them with no chance of coming off of them. If I miss a dose, I get seizures and cant function. I have no history of seizures and now I fear missing a dose. My doctor told me I'll probably be on it the rest of my life. Its frustrating depending on a little pill to keep me functioning.
