I just started generic Focalin 5 days ago, 5mg once a day. It makes me feel wired, like I’ve had too much caffeine. I can’t tell yet if it’s helping with my concentration, and it doesn’t hurt my mental state as far as I can tell, but I’m wondering if this physical jittery feeling will fade over time.

Hey, it’s always fun to run after refills every months especially when it includes vacations like August. I ran out of meds 2 days ago and have to deal with myself for an entire week before I get a refill....
My wife brought ADHD Thrive Institute to our attention to help with our child (and me). We spoke with them over the phone but I’m getting a bad feeling about it, it feels very sales-y with their 3 step program, and they own brand of supplements etc… has anyone had experience with it?

There’s a lot of to-do list apps, reminders, calendars etc out there advertised towards us to help us do things like break down large tasks into meaningful chunks and focus on what we need to do each day, but I want to hear from the community what do you guys think is the best so let’s start a thread
How bad are everyone else’s side effects? I currently take a 30mgXR in the morning and 10mgIR part way through the day. I can get some facial tics and other OCD like symptoms. They aren’t bad enough to lower my dose or make other changes at this point. Just wondering what others are experiencing and if anyone has any tips or...
I take Ritalin 10mg on a needs basis since I generally have functioned ‘alright’ into adulthood....
This post is both, seeking for advice and just communicating...
My psychiatrist strongly suggested that I take a “medication holiday”, meaning not taking meds for up to a month during the summer holidays....
For me, it’s how much better I can do things I thought I was already fine at. Like engaging in conversations, handling complex logic, or just consciously relaxing.
I saw this post on x-twitter that explains this phenomenon which I really relate to:...
If I can’t bring myself to get around to an important task, such as filing a tax thing or making a doctor’s appointment, I invoke my nuclear option: I give my best friend three hundred dollars in cash and tell her to spend it if I don’t prove to her that I’ve done the thing by a certain date and time....
