    I’m in my late 30s and I told my mom recently that I think I have adhd.

    She reminded me that I took a test at a psych when I was like 18 and they said I was borderline adhd and that they could give me meds for it but I declined.

    I completely forgot about that until my mom told me the story.

      I jumped through hoops decades ago to get tested for ADHD and did not get the diagnosis based on my good performance on the cognitive tests, plus some of my wife’s questionnaire answers not seeming severe enough.

      I finally started Adderall here in my 40s thank freaking god.

        Can you tell me what it was like before and after? Like how has your life improved? I’m still on the fence about getting on meds.
