Read about this on another thread and googled the symptoms. Screamed me! Did a quiz - 100%.

Does anyone have this and have you been treated?

Yes, I do. I'm on Elvanse.
I read an article in Prima mag in 2005 where a mother described recognising herself as having ADHD when her son was getting his diagnosis. I read the article and realised my experience of life was incredibly similar. Got hugely excited, underlining sentences and even writing, "Who does this remind you of??" for when I showed my then DH. And then, incredibly, life, (I probably recondidered that article and doubted myself, typical of my ADHD brain mindset of course) intervened and it was forgotten. It was only when I needed a map on a nightmare journey back from Bristol that I found the magazine - no map book naturally. At my destination I had to park up and wait, and I flipped through the Prima and it all started from there. The rediscovery occurred in 2007.

Is Elvanse medication? Is it helping?

Thank you for sharing your story.
