Anyone on ADHD meds?

[BellaCriesAndThatsAlright]

I'm due to start on these soon and am worried. I have seen so many people saying that they didn't work for them so am looking for some positives for balance. How have they worked for you? Have they worked long term? I'm supposed to be starting Elvanse.

I've just realised I started this thread!

I thought I would post an update. I'm now on Elvanse and they are definitely helping. I have more patience, am able to start things I would usually put off and just feel so much calmer. I have also gone several nights without wine which was unheard of before. They haven't fixed everything, but I didn't expect them to.

@sonoonetoldyoulifewasgonnabethisway I understand your worry as I was drinking the same amount. I still did drink a couple of times on the lowest dose but it didn't feel good. I have now not wanted to. In future if I do, I will skip a day I think. I don't feel the need to self medicate like I did before, which is great tbh.
