Dawn started ADHD Medication last month!  in this episode we discuss her experience of Titration so far and look back at Laura's, which began ten months prior.  As ever, our experiences are entirely different, and we were both prescribed different medication. We then dive into the topic of ADHD Activism. We unmask our true intentions of ADHDAF.
