I have been living with ADHD husband for last 18 years, we are still together and to outer world we sre happy family of 4 , 2 adults and 2 kids, but cant put in words how hard work that has been , what I have gone through, at times I felt that I mentally abused due to his shouting and behaviour which he thinks he is explaining. Once he abused me physically too. At times I feel sorry for him as look like he is vulnerable and other times his behaviour makes me down and vulnerable. His ADHD has been diagnosed 6 months ago and that explains his behaviour over 18 years. He is on ADHD Medication, which is working fine with him however when it wears off he becomes very difficult to be with even worst than before starting medicine. I am very concerned that for how long he can carry on taking those medicine called Concerta. As he is completely different person after that medicine effects, he thinks rationally,however I also see side effects of it , which are headaches sleep less nights and many more. So my question is will medicine fix him permanently ? Can he take them for whole life? or it's a temporary fix with lots of side effects, when he stop he would be worst than this? Anyone with experience please share.

You must think about your own happinesses here. Any form of physical and/or mental abuse is inexcusable.
Medication will help him hopefully, but it won’t necessarily make YOU happy.
Edit* apologies, I’d forgotten most of you post ha, yes he should be able to take them indefinitely as long they keep helping him, and if they don’t they can change them. I’m on Concerta myself and having very little side effects but a lot of benefits.
All the best. Adam

"When it [the medication] wears off he becomes very difficult to be with even worst than before starting medicine."
This may be what is known as 'rebound', an effect of rapidly falling amounts of medication in his system. It would be worth speaking to his doctor / specialist about it because, if it is the cause, changes to how and when medication is taken may sort it out.
DISCLOSURE: I'm not a doctor, I'm an ADHD adult - 'rebound' is something I've seen referred to a number of times during my own researches into medication as I'm recently diagnosed and have been reading everything I can get my hands on on the subject. So, you really do need to speak to a specialist to get confirmation, one way or another.
