After going undiagnosed for most of my life, I finally got confirmation at 25, that I was indeed suffering from ADHD. I was hesitant to get medicated at first. After all Adderall is a class 2 narcotic, a form of meth, and extremely addictive. However with some nudging from my friends and various health professionals, I finally decided to give it a try. Now, I can’t believe that I went my whole life without it.
