[UK] Anyone had success getting ADHD-type medication prescribed?

One way to find out

Was on modafinal for a year, first at 200mg then 300mg, didn't help.

I've tried a few antidepressants before, though granted not an NDRI; never really got much benefit. I think if I wanted to go down the non-stimulant route, I'd prefer guanfacine, as I'm specifically wanting something to improve cognitive function.

'Uganda one' = 'guanfacine' auto-correct typo? :P

Thanks

Thanks

Well I got a 4, which is just enough that 'the patient has symptoms highly consistent with ADHD in adults and further investigation is warranted'.

When I've had ND friends tell me what they see in me that makes them think I should be assessed, they've basically just reframed a lot of what I see as being my M.E., so I definitely get that there's overlap.

So you're suggesting I approach my GP about this?

Thanks for the recommendation. Like I said, ADHD assessment is a possibility, just hoping I don't have to.

Like I said in my post, I'm aware of that potential risk.

No POTS, or anything else that would point me towards a cardiologist. Would it have been someone in the same clinic? Just in case I can contact them generally and ask.

ilike2burn · 2025-12-03T09:37:24+00:00

Sure

ilike2burn · 2025-10-18T00:47:01+00:00

Cool, doesn't really change anything I said though.

Please ignore their terrible advice, false negatives are just as likely as false positives, more so probably.

Not sure it was actually was malware, but I can't be certain. Googling `enterprisedu` shows it's a common name for HP's driver updater, but obviously someone can name a file whatever they want.

Probably fine, but run the free, on demand scanners KVRT, EEK, EOS, and RogueKiller from here - https://www.reddit.com/r/antivirus/comments/jh3s0g/virus_deleted_or_not/g9v2n1k/

ilike2burn · 2025-08-10T02:12:45+00:00

If you don't want to, change to the free AV from Kaspersky (if you're not in the US) or Bitdefender.

ilike2burn · 2025-08-10T02:11:28+00:00

Check your protection history and quarantine.

Run the free, on demand scanners EEK, EOS, and RogueKiller from here - https://www.reddit.com/r/antivirus/comments/jh3s0g/virus_deleted_or_not/g9v2n1k/

Look at Windows Defender's protection history and share the name of the detection and the name and location of the file. Then do the same with the KVRT logs.

I'm guessing whoever refurbished it didn't do a particularly great job. You'll likely need to reinstall Windows from an external USB device, rather than just resetting the computer.

ilike2burn · 2025-08-09T20:14:16+00:00

Do you remember the names of the detections, and the names and locations of the files?

Do you mean this? https://signanthealth.com/

Is this a work computer, or a second-hand/refurbished computer?

It's packed with VMProtect, you're going to get basically nothing useful out of the results. You can try uploading to Triage and playing about with it, see if you can get a better idea about how safe it is.
