This is great. I resonate a lot with the symptoms as well as with the thought "ADHD isn't real, it's only a bunch of coping mechanisms for unhealed "stuff"", but you got me wondering whether that's actually true, so thank you for writing this up!

Also curious to hear how it's holding up two months later

Thanks for reading and glad it might have helped, the only reason I bothered to publish this!

God could it be only two months later?? It's holding up like this: any day I forget to take my meds, at a rate right now of perhaps once every two weeks or so, are noticeably worse. My patience is a thin veneer and my sustained intentionality is shot to shit. Days where I remember (now at the 10mg dose) just feel "normal" and like how things should feel.
