I was just about to say this lol.

The concept of "filing" taxes is old and most other "modern" nations have done away with it. Problems like this can be reduced by sending a tax bill or refund and not forcing citizens to use 3rd party applications to find out what the government already knows.

I'm on a combination of Effexor (venlafaxine) and Strattera (atomoxetine) which has worked wonders for me. However the turning of the drugs took over a year and that's also while using the Effexor to manage depression and anxiety. It's not an easy thing and everyone reacts differently to different combinations. For example I can't take the Effexor and Wellbutrin together because I end up with serotonin toxicity. It's a very YMMV situation and some people don't react well or at all to non-stimulants options.

If by functioned fine you mean killed themselves, lived miserable lives, died in the streets due to being unemployable or being unable to maintain a house or farm, developed debilitating addictions to drugs or just became criminals? Yea, it was fine. I don't get why people hate using modern medicine or technology to make peoples lives better. Suffering is *not* a virtue and only backwards people think it is. Society also functioned fine before finding out about insulin or gluten free diets. People who needed those things just died horrible deaths.

I tried to manage my ADHD for a long time and have been somewhat successful. However, I was diagnosed in the 4th grade (around 1997) and just got my meds right within the last 6 months and it is a night and day difference. I would also say that electronics and hyperstimulation are going to have nothing to do with the root cause at least in my case. I grew up in the early 90's, poor, and had pretty much no electronics. I was lucky to have a radio. Books and toys like blocks were what I had.
