I can relate to a lot of this! I’m 41 and just got diagnosed this year. It explains a lot of my life! I started medication this spring with Concerta and it helped but then I built up a tolerance to it and it stopped working. After spending months trying different meds I’m getting help with Focalin XR, but I’m terrified I’ll build up a tolerance to it as well so I’m trying to get as much done on a certification as I can while it’s working. Have meds helped you?
Yeah, I'm on sertraline and Adderall XR. While neither one is perfect, the baseline quality of my life has improved. It's hard to quantify or explain, but my recall and short-term memory is a million times better. I'm currently going to school full-time, and my grades are the best they've ever been, even in my hardest classes.
