I don't have much to add other than that I'm proud of you for realising this and finding a solution that works for you. Kudos

Thanks! It feels like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.

I see this a lot, but I will go out on a limb to tell you ADHD is not the reason for your failures. You probably already know this, but it feels better to blame it on something you think is beyond your control.

How did you get a diagnosis? Everywhere in my area has a 6 month+ waiting period.

That was basically my experience too, it was about 4 months from a GP referral to a psychiatrist evaluation then back to the GP to try out different medications.

So far we’ve only tried Atomoxetine and Wellbutrin, want to avoid stimulants if possible.
