Hello everyone,
I’d love to hear your personal stories and honest reflections regarding ADHD medication. Whether you’ve been on it for a few weeks or several years, your perspective matters.
Could you share:
Initial Thoughts: What were your fears, hopes, or expectations before starting?
The Experience: What effects did you notice first (both positive and challenging)? How did it impact your focus, emotions, and daily routine?
The Balance: Looking back, how do you weigh the benefits against the side effects? Do you feel it was the right choice for you?


Hey, I haven’t started on meds after my diagnosis (3 or so years ago). Mainly because my mother has Schizophrenia and I feel afraid of start disociating after taking it. Perhaps this fear is irrational but it is there, so I have taken the therapy way (psychoanalysis). Improvement has been slow but feels like growing a tree, at first is really small, but it get sturdier with time.
Thank you for your answer. Keep those roots growing ☺️
