@Suck_on_my_Presence I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was young, back in the 90's. I was on ritalin then adderall. For a while meds worked great, but after a couple months I started getting really emotional and upset about things.

Things I forgot to bring to school like homework or supplies that were requested, right before class I would have these shocking realization moments and get really upset over this and it left me feeling miserable all day.

It got so bad I had to be taken off Adderall and was not put on anymore ADHD medications for a long time, not till I was in community college in '07-'08 I was put back on it because I was having problems with College and needed to get back on medication.

I was put on the generics of Adderall. And Like before, it worked for a while. But then I started having these really emotional and miserable moments again when I would forget something and it was a repeat of what I went through in the 90's. I finally had to be taken off of it again.

I haven't gone back on Ritalin or Adderall in almost 15 years. My ADHD is still a massive pain without it, but I have learned to adapt better with my ADHD over the years.

But that was my own experience with ADHD meds, and the meds do affect people differently. So don't expect my experience with it to be your experience.
