Buddy, I'm like this medicated. I don't cope, I don't manage. I can't get a proper job and I'm increasingly ready to plan my exit.
Get thee some therapy bro. Medication is a tool, not a magic fix. You still gotta do the work on yourself. The meds just make it easier to do
I have had a lot, but I didn't find it very helpful for ADHD, and genuinely prohibitively expensive for someone like me who has no idea how to make money. It felt like I was spending all my money talking about my broken leg, if that makes sense.
