ADHD meds query
Hi folks!
I'm currently awaiting a formal assessment for #ADHD to add alongside my #ASD diagnosis.
While I'll be looking at strategies to help manage my lack of executive function & attention, I expect to ask for medication.
The major issue for me, however, is that I don't do well with stimulants
E.g., a single energy drink or coffee make me jittery, as will typically more than 1 cup of tea in the morning.

ADHD meds query
With this in mind, does anyone have any experience with non-stimulant ADHD meds?
It looks like the main ADHD drugs used in the UK are these:

Most of the reports I've read from folks are from those on stimulant meds like methylphenidate, lisdexamfetamine or dexamfetamine.
It'd be nice to see something from folks on non-stimulants like atomoxetine (an SNRI).
Thanks in advance
