Received this today after seeing a psychiatrist last week with symptoms of inattentive ADHD.

I cried in the appointment so I think he just thought I was depressed. I’m 1000000% not, I’m a happy, content person but he’s given me this. He did say once I’m diagnosed with ADHD that’s it and it could harm career etc but I just want something to help me focus, close the million and one browser tabs in my head etc
.
Will this help?

It's helped my anxiety which has arisen as a result of what I believe to be ADHD. I have an appointment for this soon..

It’s done wonders for me, double diagnosis of depression and anxiety.

Thanks both. Do you think it’s the right thing for me to be on? With no symptoms of depression?

Must say it’s given me hellish diahorrea tonight. Hope this doesn’t keep up tomorrow at work Blush

I wasn't really depressed either. I feel it has given me a bit more of a handle on life ? It's not solved the issues but I feel maybe I'm in a better place to look at it ? I've got another thread on my ? adhd going if you want so see how it makes me feel..
