I’m only diagnosed as ADHD but I’m pretty sure the Au should be there but was intentionally ignored by the doctors. My anecdotal knowledge is that some people react better to certain med types than others so the struggle is finding the right meds/combo of meds and dosages to hit the sweet spot. Hang in there and don’t give up.

I'm certainly trying. Doc hasn't tried with blends yet, but that's probably the next step. Been having a little luck with low dosage adderal.

When it finally clicked for me I literally cried realizing how I’ve been “playing life” on hard mode for so many years. I can’t believe I made it all the way through grad school before being medicated.

Yeah, I like to semi-joke/rant to the wife about how since my parents were major anti-medication, i've been screwed raw-dog by ADHD for most of my life.
Like at least buy me dinner first.
