I have never taken medication for my adhd so can't answer that bit. I do know that some adhd meds actually help fatigue rather than make it worse.
Since getting Hashimoto's I feel like a different person, like large parts of me disappeared (like the adhd characteristics) and I find I don't like it. I miss having a fast brain process or feeling happy all the time (part of my hyperactivity and over stimulation).
