Medical Question - ADHD

Hi, my name is Ben, I am extremely keen on becoming a pilot ever since i first went in a plane 7 years old. Since that age I got flight simulator and mastered how to fly on it with ease, mastered all the autopilot controls they provided. By 11 I have joined a virtual airline in which I flew to destinations from airports I was assigned to.
I have since started flying lessons, but I have got one large obstacle in my way. I suffered from ADHD for my whole life I have in the last year come off medication for it and can control it, but would this be a problem? I can see how it would but is there certain things that mean you can fly like being off medication for it for a certain amount of time.

Please reply, it'll be very helpful,
Ben.
