I was diagnosed a few years back and use the same drug - the difference is night and day for me. Astonishing difference to my life!

When people ask if I'm frustrated/angry that it took until I was mid-30s to get diagnosed, I respond by saying how I'm proud of myself for achieving what I have so far unmedicated/undiagnosed - and excited about what the future might hold.

I've seen the Butterfly Effect movie from the early 00s. I know that going back and changing one thing can have drastic consequences, and not always for the better. ;)
