I appreciate your response and glad you found meds that work for you!
I don’t know how this works with ADHD, but being autistic I know I am much more likely to experience side effects (as I have in the past when I tried different meds), so it might not be that easy to avoid or clear cut to prescribe in the first place, but yeah, the plan is to speak to a gp at some point, there just always seems to be something more urgent to be dealing with…
Yes, I wish you the best of luck in finding a GP that will listen finely to your subjective experience.
That is absolutely key, and often the most difficult part—especially for anyone with any degree of neurodivergence—to the point I almost gave up trying to advocate for myself.
Even with my (reportedly? I don’t know how these things are measured to be honest) lesser degree of neurodivergence many meds side effects affect me differently.
If you can find a provider that already has experience diagnosing autism in adults, they might be the kind of provider whose opinion on the specifics of the side effects you might want to seek.
I wish you the best of luck in your journey towards ease of being, fellow person.
