Hey, I'm someone with ADHD but that never had any medication.

Most of the time, I can't function. I'm exactly as they describe they are without medication. The only way I get through it is by doing things that need to be done faster.

And thankfully for me it's not as hard to focus on programming. Actually programming is probably the thing I'm best at, despite my inattentiveness costing me. It's everything else that is the issue.

I got by okay without meds as a bachelor. On non-productive days I'd leave the office at 4. On productive days I'd leave the office around 8. That way I would get 40+ hours of productive office time while still having plenty of time for myself.

Marriage made that harder. Kids even more so. Meds made it so much easier to have consistent productivity.
