A person functions best when they get adequate restorative sleep, balanced nutrition, are free from illness and in a safe environment. If you were not labeled ADHD before the age of 8, I am leery of ever accepting the focus deficiencies of adults as true ADHD. Stimulants do aid focus an most, but that reaction is not a diagnostic test for the disorder.

Strongly urge a second opinion. Your misgivings are appropriate and the adverse effects do need management. Not clear if your diagnosis or treatment is the correct approach.
