I was diagnosed at university. Around my freshman year, which is over 10 years ago. In my country there were not many ADHD specialists and medications in circulation at first, mostly atomoxetine was used, but it made me sick (nausea, stomach pain). Eventually Concerta was introduced to the local market and things got much better with it.

After migrating to Europe, I was re-diagnosed by a good specialist with all the right methodologies and then got prescriptions for Elvanse (in the US it's kind of like Vyvanse, I think) 30mg and clonazepam 1mg to control anxiety.

Been taking it for a couple years now, works pretty well.

Not so long ago I have seen studies on which Elvanse is considered almost the best drug among analogs, so I can only recommend it. It is quite mild and has a long release.

From personal experience: it is better to refrain from coffee and caffeinated drinks in general when taking medication.
