I have every possible marker for ADHD but the top Adult ADHD specialist psychiatrist in the country diagnosed me as the "least ADHD person he's ever met", presumably because I showed up for all my appointments in plenty of time with all the things I needed, and a few other minor things like "no history of stimulant drug use" (uh, dude, you know I said I drink two or three pots of coffee in the morning with the first one before I've even got dressed?).
So, I'm starting to think it's all a bit of a fraud.

- Gordonjcp 3y agoExactly. Pretty much all ADHD medication is a stimulant of some sort, often related to the amphetamine family. I never much liked speed, mostly because it simply didn't do much for me. I felt like I'd have been as well snorting Lemsip.
