I will point out that, in the US at least, an official diagnosis isn't required to get those meds. It's just a lot easier to be prescribed them with it. I'm not officially diagnosed but I do see a psychiatrist who was willing to try them with no prompting from me.

Ultimately though they didn't work out because of the impact on my blood pressure, I'm on non-scheduled ADHD meds now that have made a huge difference.

What non-scheduled meds, if you don't mind me asking? I've tried a few supplements, but no luck yet.

Straterra is what I found worked for me. It still needs to be prescribed.
