"i&#039;m 22 years old, and i was recently diagnosed with adhd. i didn&#039;t originally want to take meds to help manage it because i was unaware that there were non-stimulant options available to treat adhd. it&#039;s helped me focus a little bit more and slowed things down for me, so i can handle situations a little bit better. aside from the cotton mouth, the worst things are the nausea and the slight sleeplessness. i can&#039;t seem to sleep through the night anymore. the nausea is mostly just inconvenient, since i can&#039;t seem to eat as much as i was, though i&#039;m always hungry, and drinking alcohol while taking them is hit and miss, since sometimes, i can drink for hours and other times it&#039;s 2 drinks and i feel like i&#039;m going to puke."
