"i am a 22-year-old female who was only diagnosed with adhd when i was 20.  although it was a &quot;known&quot; problem throughout my entire life, i had never been diagnosed since i was able to maintain a&#039;s and b&#039;s throughout my schooling.  upon arriving to college though, i went from being a rockstar student to crashing and burning my first semester.  after struggling with the idea of taking a stimulant and avoiding medication, i finally caved and tried vyvanse.  i&#039;m very glad i made the decision because it really helps me direct my thoughts and focus and therefore has reduced a great deal of anxiety that i was experiencing from the frustration of &quot;not getting my life together&quot;."
