I’d like to know from anyone who is treated satisfactorily whether they have any symptoms that persist and resist treatment, and if so, which ones. Ideally, I’d like to collect enough data to produce some sort of statistics (not scientific, of course). Feel free to use any format and language you like.
For me:
- The urge to fidget
- Attention span, which is better but rarely exceeds an hour
- Hyperfixation and hyperfocus
EDIT: Got hyperfixated, compiling the following JSON from your answers, so feel free if you want to follow the template :)
{ "diagnosis": "ADHD", "treatment": ["fluoxetine", "methylphenidate XR"], "age": "30", "years_in_treatment": "3", "remaining_symptoms": [ "fidgeting", "hyperfixations", "hyperfocus" ], "attention_span": "60", "record_date": "31/05/2024" }

I am mostly treated but my ability to pay attention (not the length of my attention span, but the fragility of it I guess) is not fully “normal”. It’s still night and day when I don’t taken my pill though.
Sidennote, I instantly become better at ALL genres of video games when on my pill. Which is a nice little side effect.
Edit: incidentally I haven’t taken the pill yet today and im on my phone so I do not have the ability or desire to follow that template haha.
Hahaha let me try to compile a draft, is still a very useful report
Maybe if you have time and you don’t forget about it (would understand), tomorrow you will be more prone to complete the missing parts :)
Thank you anyway!
