I have struggled with this forever. I have gotten OK with lists of things I need to do and organizing those in a few different places I actually will look at, but what do I do about scheduling/calendars? I can do what my work calendar says but anytime I make my own schedule, it becomes invisible to me and I don’t even consider...
My psych is letting me try ADHD meds without getting neuropsych testing after all, which is great because that shit’s expensive. Wish me luck getting it filled with the shortage and everything. I really hope it helps! I’m tired of being overwhelmed all the time and unable to focus on what I want to focus on....
Once again I messed the pill count and didn’t renew my prescription in time sol I’ll be riding this coming week dry… thanks stupid US medical system....
In reference to the awful /r/ADHD subreddit which is the most anti-ADHD place online I have ever seen I would like to know if this place will follow their horrible example or actually allow neurodivergent people with ADHD to consider it a home?...
I’ve been on Concerta 27mg (started at 18mg) for about 2 months now, and I’ll admit, I feel like I could be taking sugar pills. I’ve been told by my GP that I should just wait a little longer before upping the dosage, though I’m not even sure how much of an effect that might have....
Been on Vyvanse 40mg for a few months now and am loving life. I’m more productive, happier, can focus better, eating less, etc....
I’m having such a hard time finding adderral at pharmacies around me. Is there any alternatives that still work well for you? I’m about to have a follow up with my doctor. Might ask about alternatives. I’m on 20mg adderral XR.
I started taking methylphenidate recently, but went through a stressful patch and suspect it contributed to a period of bad anxiety. That’s mostly better now, and the doc prescribed me vyvanse (Elvanse here in UK) instead....

I live a relatively active life but I struggle with eating too much. I feel like there is no diminishing returns when I eat something. Each chip tastes just as good as the last one. So I will be craving food but know it’s not healthy for me to eat more. I’m trying to find ways to ignore that feeling or dismiss it....
How do I trick my brain into completing a project? I’m making an app that shows which voice actor plays a character in the movie and what other movies they act in. It’s useful for me personally but I feel like I’m making something that’s been done numerous times over and I lost the momentum because I’m on vacation with...
I’ve realized that I kind of rely on my periods of hyperfocus to complete things (when I’m able to direct it toward the right task). If I go onto medication, will I still be able to hyperfocus? As destructive as hyperfocus can be when it’s pointed at the wrong thing, it’s like a superpower when it’s pointed at the...
… and then put them down somewhere and lost them immediately 🤦
Was on 300xl for adhd and mood, saw it helped but felt 450xl would benefit more. The psych said 300 was the absolute max (I call bs, I know a lot of y’all are on 450 and even one guy on here is on 600!!) anyway, after I mentioned the different areas of my life it was helping in he agreed to do 200SR x2 a day....
Greetings, fellow ADHDers!...
We are normally good at masking bc its expected of us but I am so tired of it. I’m so tired of having to pretend like I’m someone I’m not....
Hi all, my name is G, a soon-to-be 20-year-old who’s been battling the chaos in my mind since, well, as long as I can remember myself really, but it really all starts at 16 - the wonderful yet horrific time where you become more conscious and aware than ever. I’ve managed to thread together the fragments of my journey,...
I’m fairly suspect that I’ve likely got ADHD and/or mild depression and I don’t know if ones causing symptoms of the other or if im personally misatributing symptoms here and I want to know how to go about changing this in the best way possible....
This is a paragraph from the book “Scattered Minds” by Gabor Mate
Like the title says, I am burned out....
I’m an hour early for the bus and trying to decide on what to eat so I can past the 2 hours until I get to the eating point. Can’t decide what to eat. Too anxious. Dumplings, I’ll eat dumplings. Something about using chopsticks I really enjoy....
