I'm one of the lucky few for whom a non-stimulant works.

Strattera paired with a low dose of Wellbutrin because my psychiatrist knows there's risk of interaction if I take too much Wellbutrin.

It's incredible having agency again, agency that doesn't fade every few hours because ritalin would wear off and I forget to take the next dose because it wore off.

Also stimulants can make the body form a tolerance that subverts their effects eventually x_x but honestly I'm grateful to see ANYTHING working for ANYONE.

The reason I didn't seek treatment for most of my life was because I didn't want to believe that ADHD was real. I wanted to believe it was nothing more than an imaginary first-world-problem "affluenza" that only afflicted people who were too fortunate to have REAL worries challenging their survival. I wanted to believe that I could just LEARN to 'be better'.

HAHA NOPE, that shit wrecked me for the prime years of my life.
