Hello friends,

I am moving to England in September to continue my studies there. I have been diagnosed to have ADHD 4 months ago and it changed my life,...for the better
First by finding this blog and all the helpful people here, second finally everything makes sense, to all of those anxious, sad days that I had and punishing myself for not being able to finish anything.

So my question is. Does anyone know how is it with adult ADHD in England? I know that in Europe people are more sceptic about this. Do they prescribe meds to students with ADHD or try to avoid them in England? Is there any student here from England with ADHD? Is it hard to find a GP with enough knowledge about ADHD? Is the option for meds the same as in the States and Canada? Probably yes, but with different names, no? What are the prices like?

I would really like to continue with the meds because they change my life with studying. I can finally focus!!

I havent slept for 2 days, because of dexedrine. But I don't care, because it helped me so much at the exam that I had today! Finally I feel good about myself, because I was able to concentrate. What and amazing feeling to be able to do this, even if it is just for a while. I just hope that it will not have side effects like Concerta.

Sorry out of the context again.

Hopefully there is someone out there.

Ok thank you,

Love to all
