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

I don't know what you are studying so I can't promise this is true for you, but I did my first 2 years of uni "on time", took 2 years off to do internships, a semester off for a wee mental break down and then did my last 2 years over a 3 year period. I got the equivalent of a B- average. Overall pretty mediocre.

But I'm very externally successful despite the non linear path through school. Don't fret if you need to take some time off, it's not the end of the world 💖 I think what would have helped me a lot was understanding that I'm not actually bad at engineering, just very good at a very specific subset lol.

P.S. You can remain silly!
