Thank you for the feedback. Often adults do well on a relatively "low" dose - so 36mg may be effective for you, especially if you combine it with a healthy lifestyle. Also, you will not become "dependent" on medication - in the same way that someone needs glasses or someone with hypertension needs medication - they are not "dependent" on it, but it "corrects" and "protects". It is always better to use medication daily. Also ADHD is not an "academic" problem only needing treatment when you have to study or write exams! Untreated ADHD can also affect interpersonal relationships, driving safety, etc. Please reconsider? Finally, we have an ongoing "battle" with medical schemes to fund treatment for adults as well, and we have made some inroads. Watch this space - but be patient!
