yeah, this was the reason I had to stop. Because the doc said "you'll need to have a cardiac report next time or you won't get new pill" to an ADHD patient with no organizational skills. I never went again unfortunately. Oh how I miss it

I’m in my first month of meds and I’d do anything that’s necessary to keep taking them.

I get it’s a catch 22 sometimes, especially trying to get diagnosed as an adult, but the benefits in my life have been immense.

I’d encourage you to muster the willpower (that we feel we lack so often) and book it if you can afford it. It took me years to get to this point and I wish I had done it sooner. Life is short, allow yourself to live it fully!

It's been many years now, there's no fixing anymore. The upwards trajectory stopped of course, but two years or so I got were enough to get me through college, into an okay job and even help me find a girlfriend. It's not ideal, but I'll live.
Man that sucks. Luckily where I live they just do it right there. Hope you can find some energy and space to get it straightened out :(
