To worry about DH taking ADHD medication

DH is in the process of being diagnosed with ADHD. I have always wondered if he has something like that, or straight forward anxiety/depression, OR just a bit of a questionable personality (really lovely a lot of the time, awful when his mood switches and he feels defensive). Anyway I think he’s keen to try ADHD meds and I’m keen to get him help to improve things for the sake of myself and the kids. AIBU to question whether the meds will help or make him worse? In terms of the negative things that affect us - moods, his inability to handle frustration, temper etc. Any advice at all would help! Thanks.

I think it can impact sleep (for some) if taken late in the day. We had the issues of it wearing off and DS crashing in the evening and not being able to do work. They can split the dose and take some in the morning and the rest at lunch and that can get them through evening study but will wear off by bedtime.
