"i&#039;m 51-years old and was skeptical regarding add or adhd. a counselor urged me to get tested. i agreed to do it because all i wanted was help. i no longer cared what the answer was for whatever was wrong. i only cared if it worked. so, i did the test and was told i was &quot;off the charts&quot; the highest scores they had seen in years of testing. today i take 120-150 mgs of vyvanse daily and it makes a difference. nonetheless, even though vyvanse has been very helpful, i still doubted whether adhd was &quot;real.&quot; i couldn&#039;t understand why the medicine was so highly regulated. how could anyone get addicted to this stuff i thought? then i realized people like me don&#039;t get high from drugs like this and that&#039;s one reason i know it&#039;s working and adhd is real."
