Back in high school when I was able to use my parent’s insurance, I was on Strattera. But the generic version is, like, six times more expensive than Ritalin, so I’m thinking about trying something new.

    Doctor picked them, one by one until something worked.

    Can’t believe I used to be afraid of “losing myself” or other shit like that and delayed getting help for 12 years after my initial self diagnosis.

      I’m only just now starting the process and “losing myself” is my number one concern and also held me back. I haven’t started on any meds yet, but it’s the next step and I’m dreading it. Any advice?

        Some meds may have side effects, many may not work at all. None will have any lasting effects so if you stop taking them, you’ll be right back where you are now. There’s really no reason not to try.
