I'm a 30 year old woman who has just been diagnosed with ADHD a couple of months ago and I need to make a decision as to whether I want to go on medication or not. The main medication offered in New Zealand is methylphenidate (ritalin) and I'm curious as to people's experiences who have been on it.
What aspects of ADHD did you find it helped with? Which ones did it not help with?
What kinds of side effects did you have?, etc.
I have a meeting with a psychologist next week to decided whether i want a referral to a psychiatrist for a prescription so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also apologies if this pops up all over the place as I am cross-posting at a couple of other communites.
