I was diagnosed as a kid and was on ritalin and later adderal but stopped taking all that stuff after elementary school. I’m 36 now and I wonder if it’d be a major pain to get on meds again as an adult or if my previous diagnosis would still be good enough.
Fwiw, sounds pretty similar to me. Depends on your doc, probably… but I have a good relationship with my Dr. and my ability to discuss my previous diagnosis as well as meds and what worked etc. Was enough for me.
Hey I did that. I stopped using it when I was 16 or so, went to college at 26 and picked it up again. It was as easy as seeing a psychiatrist once and explaining what it helped you with in the past.
Healthcare is free in my country though. No idea how much it would cost you.
