Hello,
I am afraid we are unable to answer individual medical enquiries on this forum.
However I can give you some generic advice that I hope is helpful. It is possible to join if you have previously been diagnosed with ADHD if you meet certain criteria. At the very minimum you need to have been symptom free without medication for at least a year before joining. Symptoms you had as a child will be taken into account, and in some cases, certain behaviours and other associated medical conditions will mean it is not possible for you to join, even if you are ok without medication now.
