This week my wife, of nearly 30 years, had a psyc evaluation this week and was diagnosed with ADHD.
Today was her first day on a base dose of Ritalin. by about 10am she made the comment “I don’t know if it is placebo or not…”. For most of the day she was ‘on fire’, until 1/2 way through cooking dinner when she started struggling with focus and keeping track (she has a sore foot at the moment and being hyper focused all day may have exasperated that).
It will be interesting to see how this develops (spoken as an undiagnosed autistic 50 y/o)
Good for you and her! My wife also found her ADHD diagnosis to be life changing. The only issues she has are remembering to take her medicine and to refill it periodically.
