Is ADHD Medication Right for Me?

Yes it is definitely worth it!!! When I first took an ADHD med and it started working, I felt like I could actually control my life and I was capable of doing anything I wanted to. Before I had been having such a hard time in school and it felt impossible sometimes, so meds really changed my life.

I would say definitely yes, but don’t expect it to be a magic pill. I also put too much expectation on it to “fix” me and that’s just not the case. I can take an Adderall and still lay in bed doing nothing all day, but that’s my depression getting in the way. I incorporated ways to try to manage my depression and anxiety and now the adderall is working much better (some days). So it can work but other things have to be addressed too. I would say it’s definitely worth it to give it a try though.

For me I think my expectations were too high.. I got put on meds and nothing has changed for me

1000% yes it turned my entire life around

Absolutely, I'm on one and it helps me sm. Although you've gotta be careful. It took me a very long time to get to a good place with it. B4 my current medication i was taking concerta, and because i was in 3rd grade i wasnt aware of how severe side effects could be, and it caused depression. You've got to moniter your mental health when starting any adhd pill and make sure the side affects arent too severe. Now I'm on vyvanse which causes loss of appetite and nausea (which ive found to be a very common side affect for people who take it) and for years i would be sick at school. I've, thank god, after years of fiddling with my routine found that taking it b4 bed and consistently has really helped with those side affects. I've also discussed with others experiencing a "brain fog" when taking meds, and the only solution ive found is a good sleep schedule and (yet again) taking it consistently. TLDR: take it consistently and moniter how its affecting your physical and mental health.

100%. Yes. Yes. Yes. Words cannot describe how worth it meds are.

Yes, for me absolutely

yes, yes, 100 times yes!!! it has changed my life for the better, i can get up and actually do things if i want to and my brain has never been so quiet.
