I was not diagnosed with ADHD until I was in my late 30's. It was such a relief to finally have an answer to the things I did or did not do. I tried many differents types of meds. But really got no relief from them. WHich is why I questioned the diagnosis. It was explained to me that puberty, hormones things of that sort all have to do with how we act or react to meds. I had to get help to figure out How I could get things done and quite running in circles. I would love to finsih the doll house I started 5 years ago. I am now in a really good place. No medication. I have learned how to get myself to do things and follow through with theem. Yeah there are still things I fight myself about. Like getting gas. I tell myself yeah you need to do it now, Then I telll myself no do it tomorrow and I find myself arguing with myself as too when I will do it. But..............the fact is that now I know whats wrong I can make it better, I am. I have it together for the first time in my life. Guess what, I really do. So hang in there, medication doesn't always work. But be willing to try different ones. Thanks for sharing
