With my thyroid tests coming back basically fine and no medi

@Littlesis7 Im not an expert, but I think unfortunately like you said everyone is different and react differently to medications. So if you experienced anxiety from adhd medication it could be something else may work, like you said there may be an unknown variable, OR your inattention could be from something else, not ADHD. I know in my case, I experienced difficulty remembering, focusing, working memory was impaired, difficulty remembering simple words----and these for me, are directly as a result of childhood trauma, narcissist emotional abuse, chronic severe stress, grief, all of which led to poor diet (because I was in a freeze state, I developed poor self regulation including not drinking water and skipping meals). For those reasons combined, I experienced horminal imbalances , thyroid dysregulation, and adhd type symptoms. They LOOK like adhd symptoms, but once I start eating every meal, and eat highly nutritious foods, drink water, and remove all stressful people from my life and enjoy my day---"adhd" symptoms are much much much better. I went from not being able to form coherant sentences or remember things---I felt like I had dementia... to functioning almost normally. I can remember things again, I can make jokes. I am ALERT. You likely do have ADHD if an expert diagnosed you, but what I mean, is that these other things like diet and water, are really big factors that are missed opportunities for major improvement. Stress actually caused the hypothalamus of the brain to shrink in depression. And ptsd symptoms really mimic adhd which *some experts fail to acknowledge. If ritalin isnt working naybe a different med will. but also try this other stuff <3
