That sounds more like a treatment than a cure.

If you can manage that, you're cured.
😭😭😭
Ah shit, I forgot to take my medication.
I’ve had ADHD my whole life and have become pretty good at raw-dogging it. Never been on meds for it.
My brother has it too. When we were younger he got medication. I didn’t - because he was more “HD” and I was more “AD,” - so his symptoms were evident whereas mine weren’t- he was a loudmouth idiot and I was an introverted daydreamer. Parents just thought I was “lazy.”
Now I’m middle-aged, have a son who has ADHD, and he’s medicated. I’m still not. At this point, what’s even the point?
Just my two cents. I was diagnosed at 9, and on medication for a few years (some kind of patch on my arm). I then was off meds from like 13 to 27. I got back on meds last year, and it has been life-changing, quite literally.
Sure, I was "functional" without them. I could hold down a job, have good relationships, remember to exercise, whatever.
But everything is so, so much easier with medication than without. I'm on a low dose of Adderall and fluoxetine (for gad), nothing crazy. Social interaction is much better than before, and I'm much happier, and massively more productive.

Well, that reminded me for today.
Any idea how you actually get those in Serbia?
Or three times a day if you are on instant release, which works better for me. I have 3 alarms set on my phone, and I still forget often.
