" . . . but it was not supposed to be ME."
I think we've all had that thought at times. But I think you have to remember that old stock portfolio warning: past success is not an indicator of future performance.
I know straight A students who went on from high school to mediocrity in college. Whether it was low high school standards, heightened college standard, partying, or mental illness, no one really knows. I also know certified genius students in college who flamed out there or floundered in the business world. Every instance turns on individual circumstances.
You may be entirely right to blame ADs for your predicament. And someone else might correctly be thankful for the same ADs allowing them to do well in school, excel at a job, etc.
All I know is that you have to write off the past, concentrate on the moment, and fight to get ahead. If that means trying new meds or going it alone without meds, so be it. But you have many years ahead of you, and surrendering now because you believe ADs ruined it for you would be selling yourself short.
Good luck.
