Diagnosed with ADHD as a child, Sean Wallace has experienced life with ADHD medication and life without it. With the prospect of going back to school, at 23, he decided he really needed the help, and so was re-diagnosed as an adult.

What surprised him was that on the proper dose, all of the reasons he hated ADHD medication as a child disappeared.

He wants others to know of his experience in case it sounds like theirs. Sometimes, second chances can bring surprising results.

SEAN'S AWESOME QUOTE:

"When you're not taking medicine, it's not that it's not manageable but it makes things harder than they really have to be."

ADHD Medication Helps

Sean Wallace read an article of mine, The Process of ADHD. I had shared it on my FB page. His response was so powerful I asked him to come on the show and share it with you. Here is an excerpt from his original post:

"I was diagnosed ADHD the summer before 6th grade. I was prescribed Adderall and I hated taking it, I never ate, my mouth would always be dry, I couldn't sleep and It made it hard to make friends because I was so quite all the time (usually I would be talking up a storm and getting in trouble) I would trick the nurse at school and pretend to take it because I didn't like it that much. The positive side to that was I would go from straight F's to straight A's in a matter of weeks, I would clean my house, be good, I never procrastinated, I was nicer. It worked miracles. Come to find out I was just taking way to high of a dosage..."
