  • I was diagnosed approx a year ago. Late 40’s. I saw my GP for a referral to a specialist. The wait was about 9 months. GP and specialist asked why I thought I might have adhd. They asked about how school went, work habits, etc. I filled out a long questionnaire that really helped me to see how obvious it was that I have adhd. I did a zoom call with the specialist and his partner. It was pretty cut and dry which really floored me. He faxed an Rx to my pharmacy, but said to start at a low dose, but move up quickly as I likely need a higher dose. Parts of it were embarrassing. I’d tried to hide it for so long and I guess I thought I had? But nope. My life is clear evidence of adhd. I started vyvanse and I still have adhd, but getting work done isn’t impossible for me. I should probably be on a higher dose, but it’s a fine balance. If i was diagnosed and treated as a kid, im positive my entire life would be different. Anyhoo. Thanks for reading.
