    I’m a few years older and also wasn’t diagnosed until my late 30s.

    Welcome to the world of mental health medication. It’s a complete fucking mystery to even medical “professionals” which cocktail works for you, until you give it a shot.

    On more than one occasion I’ve heard, “Try this one, if you don’t want to kill yourself or anyone else, it’s probably a good one to use. Otherwise, we can switch to another one with even worse side effects and see how that goes. How does that sound?”

    Good luck! It’s a long journey, at least in my experiences.

      Fortunately got Prozac dialed in after a bad experience with Paxil many years ago. I’d rather the anxiety be better and the ADHD not. Thanks and same to you.
