>> Just keep in mind that there is a huge variation, not every AD(H)D-er is the same. > I covered this later on. The whole "sometimes medication is necessary" bit. I was just thinking about the ways to cope, music/sound, pair programming. I know not every ADHD-er prefer pair programming. >> Then you should possibly contact your doctor, it shouldn't be that way as long as you follow the recommandations, but sometimes even minor changes can make major differences, even changes in dosage or even type based on the same active ingredient. > It's less the effects of the medication and more the way that medication impacts your life as an adult. You're often accused of not actually having ADHD and faking it for "legal meth". Some people actually struggle with the temptation to use recreationally. That's a shame if you ask me and you have my sympathy here. >> This isn't R, is it? > Relevant? Yes. It is. If you can't make it through a workday without your medication, you can barely handle your social life. ADHD trying to be social is always late, always harried, always forgets to bring the thing it promised to bring, and much more. Trust me, I can't tell you what my plans are for this weekend without checking my calendar and every appointment on that calendar has a checklist of things to bring if any. I know what you mean. > The problem is, when you go off meds, it's ten times worse than if you never took medication. This is where our experiences differ
