"i am 20 and was only diagnosed with adhd about 6 months ago. i tried ritalin first and it did nothing for me, but then i was prescribed dexedrine and it has been a life saver. there&#039;s definitely some odd but kind of fun side effects for me. i get extremely into whatever i&#039;m doing, which is super helpful for school, but sometimes a bit awkward in social situations because i enjoy conversation a little too much and worry that i annoy people. it makes me really ambitious and i feel the need to learn/accomplish things while i&#039;m on it, but not physical things unfortunately, like working out or cleaning haha. i usually start doing homework, planning things or doing research. it&#039;s going to help me succeed in school so much more now."
