    Re meds:

    I have good insurance, so my meds are five bucks a month for name brand vyvanse.

    I take it on the morning on work days, and it is literally life changing. Kicks in pretty quickly, and the focus is amazing. I get so much coding done when it’s doing its job.

    Lasts till about 5pm then it wears off.

    When I did it I just found a shrink and went to him. I took a short survey, he diagnosed me, I got adderall. Had to go back every couple months for a check up to keep my script, but it wasn’t a huge deal.

    Five years later I did the REAL battery of tests. It took six fairly grueling hours, cost me a grand, but I got a full on report on my adhd. I had switched to vyvanse before that but it was nice having a report.

    Also came with an iq test as part of it!
