I dreamed last night I finally got meds...
… and then put them down somewhere and lost them immediately 🤦

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...
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....
Greetings, fellow ADHDers!...
TL:DR: When taking your ADHD meds (in my case atomoxetine) it’s best to take them and eat a meal at the same time....
i’m pushing 40 and have only recently been given an informal diagnosis (seeking out a formal diagnosis currently) from my therapist of ADHD, so it’s all new to me and changing the way i look at my behaviors and patterns. i’ve been thinking about this distinction between executive dysfunction and depression quite a bit...
This is a paragraph from the book “Scattered Minds” by Gabor Mate
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....
Hi all....
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’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....
Like the title says, I am burned out....
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....
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....
I’m sure I’m not the only person who struggles with their medication. I will stare at my bottle for hours trying to remember if I took it. Since I use a long release medication my day is shot if I don’t take it before 10am....
This is a neurological joke, was that the most ADHD moment thing out there or...
I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, and I’ve noticed that I sometimes get sensory overload, when my kid (5, also neurodivergent) starts humming, or other loud conversations etc, I get physical pain from the sustain loud (or just high level) noise. I’ve been using my AirPod Pro with no music with just noise cancelling to help....
Hi everyone....
It’s super effective (and legal to purchase over the counter where I live), but it gradually loses efficacy, and by the third/second week of a modafinil cycle, tasks become harder, focusing becomes a challenge and I gradually lose all motivation. In the end I just give up and enter potato mode again....
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...
Thanks ADHD I really needed to go down the rabbit hole for a single actor and pull all the threads. I’m sure it won’t have consequences.
Sorry for being dramatic, but I feel absolutely awful right now and things seem to be moving in the wrong direction, I genuinely don’t know what to do next....
I’ve been having good results and just wanted to share how my changed treatment plan has already been having a big impact on me....
Touch everything...
