I first tried wellbutrin, which is used for both depression and mild ADD.
It was not the right choice (it's hard to describe, but it felt like trying to push through a sheet of latex- I could it helping, but it felt like that. also, I was getting some physical side effects), but gaining that mild stimulant and then losing it caused me to bring it up. Combined with my parents trying ADD meds when I was young caused my doctor give me one of those ADD tests, and I was far enough over the line to try it. And it worked.
I'm only on 25mg which is too much some days (but you can adjust the dosage yourself), but my doctor was very open to the conversation (maybe because I paid him directly, no insurance).
It's the kind of thing (both Anti-Deps and Stimulants) everyone should explore if they think they might help.
Hit me with questions. Mental Health is not something I am ashamed of (nor should anyone else be IMO)
EDIT. Lexapro was the 2nd med tried, and it works well enough where I don't feel like rolling the dice again.
Which enabled me to rediscover my desire to innovate and learn.
