This one speaks to me on multiple levels.

It’s a reason I dropped my scepticism of medication and went to get a diagnosis and subsequent prescription. I am glad I did - and that it worked first try. (It’s not guaranteed anything would, depending on unknown factors and probably autism also influences the effectiveness)

I can confirm: At first, it really feels that way. But now, half a year later, it balanced out a little and I am only medium fast. Still - much improvement compared to before.

    Thanks for the well-written reply. You’ve already mentioned something that I’ve been thinking for awhile now: I need a different doctor. My GF wants me to stay but I’ve already been through this before with the last doc I’ve had: they don’t listen and make me feel like my problems are insignificant. I keep telling them that these meds don’t work, but they keep reassuring me that I have to continue dosing for months at a time before I finally feel something.

    Also thanks for the community reccomendation. I’ve been looking for a good replacement for /r/ADHDmeme ever since I left reddit.
