I was diagnosed as an adult as well, but I also stopped taking the meds years ago in favor of lifestyle changes. Exercise, sleep, and diet helps enough to get by for me, without the side effects.
My personal opinion is years from now we will look at the drugs we are giving to help with thinks like ADHD as barbarism. Yes I know they help many people including my two sons but doctors will tell you it’s all trial and error. We literally don’t know what we are doing.
But yeah everyone has to weigh their individual risks. For me and you meds aren’t needed but we understand for others they don’t have that luxury.
