Hi, I’m new to lemmy and this is my first post. I’ve been diagnosed with adhd for a while now and I’m on medication. I’ve always had issues with memory and was wondering if this could have something to do with my ADHD, as taking the meds seems to help and it’s only with small, simple things like what I did today or had...
After having success with a sleep routine (that starts 1 hour earlier from when I want to fall asleep) and seeing someone mention morning routines and reset routines (“A reset routine is something you do when you’re feeling super unfocused”) I wanted to know yours, so that I can better craft and tailor mine.
Hello, I am new here....
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. I can’t imagine...

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?

I recently decided to get in shape and started biking. I’ve noticed after a bike ride I tend to get more done at work. Do bike rides improve concentration?
I just bought the new Spiderman Multiverse movie to watch with the family. The wife is sleeping through it and the kiddo loves it. But I’m to ADHD to sit through it. Ugh frustrating.
Hi,...
Some people use the pain of RSD to find adaptations and overachieve. They constantly work to be the best at what they do and strive for idealized perfection. Sometimes they are driven to be above reproach. They lead admirable lives, but at what cost?...
I also ended up becoming a jack of all trades in the meantime
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
Participate in a study that looks at developing needs assessment plans for self-management of ADHD. This is run by someone with ADHD who is doing funded, academic research that has real outcomes and is done in collaboration with the people it is for. The study has had a full ethics review....
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:...
