Hello,
I was diagnosed with ADHD recently (inattentive type) just recently. So far, the medication is working a little (won't start stimulant-types until first medication takes effect). I have found that since I have been taking the medication, I have zero craving for alcohol and feel calmer and more focused. Has anyone else had this experience?
I have secretly suspected that I have had ADHD for many years, and it was my psychologist who suggested that I be tested for it. I scored very high on the inattentive portion and hope that I will be feeling even better as my treatment progresses.
I wonder if anyone on these boards has had untreated ADHD while abusing alcohol. I am just trying to fit the puzzle pieces together, so that I can continue living a healthy and purposeful life.
Any tips on how to cope with adult ADHD would be sincerely appreciated (Please no suggestions about medication).
