So hi all you cool fediverse thingies,

(Edit: I just realized I posted this on ADHD memes. Can't stop being a clown)

After an odyssey I've been finally diagnosed at 18 of age with "a textbook example of ADHD" (-my psychiatrist) and high QI. Lmao I wish.

They gave me 30gm of lisdexanfetamin (Elvanse) and I just took a pill a few hours ago after getting up.

The thing is that I'm not feeling a single thing different in any way and I don't even what should I be expecting. I might be scared of having expend more money and time because of the dosage not being right…

How were your first moments/days/weeks with medication? (I you don't mind sharing).

I don't want to fail uni. :c

Thanks for the response!

Yeah, my action plan is to give it time until I meet with my psychiatrist again. It is a bit anti-climatic, but I guess better to go from light to hard in terms of drugs… You're right, there are a ton of different options, and maybe I was a bit delusional expecting things to work at first try. While this might not be the end, at least is a step further and that makes me happy.

Btw: I'm studying CS from home too, and sometimes it's a titanic effort to get anything done; nonetheless, I also appreciate having the ability to control my environment as much as I like.
