DH newly diagnosed with ADHD

I would be so grateful if anyone can offer advice. Been with DH for 12 years. He had an awful childhood and since we've been together always had mental health issues. He's recently been diagnosed with ADHD and started on concerta (this is day 4). I'm not expecting a miracle and for the tablets to work instantly, just some hope that it will get better.

When he's bad he shouts at me, swears at me, ignores me, just generally makes me feel like crap. Then when he 'comes out of it' he's sad and apologetic but then it all starts again...... He hasn't always been as bad as this- he went downhill about 3 years ago and its been a struggle since then. I'm trying to support him but its hard and I've got no one supporting me. I think last weeks appointment with the psychiatrist has put him on a downer and as per usual he's taking it out on me.You'd think I'd be used to it by now but it still hurts when he takes it out on me. Just hoping the medication will make a difference. I love him but feel totally invisible sometimes as he's so focused on himself.
