[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adult on meds - I am no more addicted to my meds than I am addicted to wearing my contacts - life is just easier and more pleasant when I use those tools to adjust my natural state. I wish I had started meds as a child or teenager. A lot of late diagnosed adults go through a period of mourning when they finally find meds that work and realize all the lost opportunities, stress, struggle, and feelings of failure that may have been different if we had meds and supportive parents. [/quote] Thank you so much for sharing. This is what I keep hearing here and in other sources (lost time perspective). I am glad you figured things out. Long road of trial and error ahead for us. I found and booked therapy to complement meds. But my son complained he did not want to eat his lunch ‘for some reason’ and he is on the adjusted smallest dose of Ritalin… breaks my heart even though I understand you have to ‘move’ things around with food planning.
