Ask HN: How did an adult ADHD diagnosis help you?

Except, ya know, the lived experiences of ADHD sufferers like myself. I get zero euphoria from my meds.

The idea that you think people with ADHD are just normal people who have trouble focusing are missing it by a mile. Caffine makes me sleepy.

I got the euphoric/ebullient effect for the first 2-3 weeks of 30mg Adderall XR I was on when I was first diagnosed (and not for the remaining 2 years I was on it). That's the only med I've had that effect from (and I've now trialed all the ADHD medications available). Currently on a low dose of Evekeo and it's the best so far.

Thank for tip towards Evekeo. The lower dextro seems promising. If you can tell (if it’s perceptible) to adderal XR / vyvanse / mydayis or some of the longer release that would be interesting. But will Google regardless :)

Thankfully this living experiences is not how we conduct science. Some people get euphoria and done don't, there is no relationship between someone diagnosed.
