I’ve had ADHD my whole life and have become pretty good at raw-dogging it. Never been on meds for it.
My brother has it too. When we were younger he got medication. I didn’t - because he was more “HD” and I was more “AD,” - so his symptoms were evident whereas mine weren’t- he was a loudmouth idiot and I was an introverted daydreamer. Parents just thought I was “lazy.”

Now I’m middle-aged, have a son who has ADHD, and he’s medicated. I’m still not. At this point, what’s even the point?

Just my two cents. I was diagnosed at 9, and on medication for a few years (some kind of patch on my arm). I then was off meds from like 13 to 27. I got back on meds last year, and it has been life-changing, quite literally.

Sure, I was "functional" without them. I could hold down a job, have good relationships, remember to exercise, whatever.

But everything is so, so much easier with medication than without. I'm on a low dose of Adderall and fluoxetine (for gad), nothing crazy. Social interaction is much better than before, and I'm much happier, and massively more productive.

Ah shit, I forgot to take my medication.

Well, that reminded me for today.

Any idea how you actually get those in Serbia?

Or three times a day if you are on instant release, which works better for me. I have 3 alarms set on my phone, and I still forget often.
