I was diagnosed with adhd at 17 and on and off through the years I have been treated and not treated left to deal with it on my own! After approximately 8 years of not being treated they put me on Vyvanse at 39. I have had nothing but good luck with it! I am so productive and my symptoms are under control. But I do have my concerns with taking stimulants as you get older. There can be heart problems, irregular heart beat, sweating witch I experience daily. I went from being on ssi for four years to just recently being hired at a decent job! I hope this helps you a little. I have never heard of being diagnosed with adhd at 65 I always thought that once I turn a certain age they would eventually take me off of Vyvanse and I'd have to deal on my own. Good luck to you and I wish you all the best! ❤️

Thanks for that, Yes, It kind of feels so weird to be diagnosed at my age, It's a relief in some ways as I was taking anti depressants for so long and they didn't work and so they increased the dose. I was living like a zombie. Once I was diagnosed, I just stopped. I will be having discussion with gp soon. I will proceed with caution. So good to hear it worked so well for you, well done with the job!
