How the hell do I get medication?

I was diagnosed in like 2022 by my old GP, but never got any ADHD meds for it. I actually forgot that was an option until my friends told me that they were on meds and it genuinely felt like a cheat for focusing. They told me about Right to Choose, but all the options there seem to start with getting a diagnosis, which I already have. Do I go to my old GP to progress? Is there a statute of limitations? Do I have to get another diagnosis? Do I have to wait a billion years for the meds to come???

EDIT: I just checked the document it wasn't actually my GP, it was "Psychiatry-UK" it seems.

The doc says, "The treatment for ADHD includes both psychosocial as well as pharmacological options. I would be happy to support a trial of medication if [my name] and his parents would like to consider this through Psychiatry-UK, by referring him onto our Titration Team."
