      Okay, so my doctor has me on dexadrine and I haven't changed since diagnosis a year ago. She told me to take a med holiday where I don't take Dexedrine for a couple days a week

      I’ve been on the same medication since I was originally diagnosed, my doctor just periodically ups my dose. For example when I was first diagnosed at 7 I started at 5mg adderall xr. I’m now a month away from being 21 and I’m at 20mg

      I started adhd meds in elementary school and as I got to highschool my dose was steadily raised bc I developed a tolerance over time I no longer take them anymore though
