I have had really bad ADHD my whole life, and only after coming to London did I get diagnosed. I was on a waiting list for 9 months, but eventually I chose to take medication. My prescriber was incredibly gentle and patient with me, even though I was late sometimes to update her on my BP (ADHD is hard) but eventually it got easier to see the effects of the medication. We openly communicated and not once was I contested on my personal experience with the medication. I asked to reduce my dose and take it twice a day instead of all of it at once in the morning and she was on board with it without skepticism. It was reassuring and refreshing to have the kind of support I got during my titration period, something that had eluded me practically my whole life. I'm incredibly grateful for this experience and have been emotionally and functionally better than I have ever been before.
