I was diagnosed with ADHD (inattentive type) in September last year (hello, late diagnosis crew!) Here’s my experience of being on Concerta XL 36mg Methylphenidate stimulant medication over the first month. It's been an emotional rollercoaster, but a life changing one. Stimulants have taught me a lot about myself and how I experience ADHD.
