I take focalin and it's the only medicine that has worked for my ADHD.

As for non-medicinal things, I started volunteering recently and my goodness has it helped. I water and groom horses at a stables and it leaves my brain and body refreshed for days after.

In order:

1. DIAGNOSIS. Just understanding why my brain did what it did helped at least curb some of the worse negative feelings and thoughts, and got those around me to better understand and help

2. Mushrooms. Mixed with therapy and diagnosis these are a really good way to completely re-attune yourself after years of not understanding or having control. Do them responsibly with someone you can trust if it's your first time

3. Meds. Adderall was the first I tried and it really works well for me. Basically restores my ability to control my thoughts to some degree. The rest of fixing me is on me, these just enable it at all

Remedies don't do anything for me, so instead, I try to change my behaviors and mindset. It's hard since it's a tug of war against myself, but I think I am getting better. And as the saying goes, to solve a problem, first the person needs to know he/she has a problem, so I try to keep an eye for potential issues I may have.

For me, Vyvanse changed my life. Self-discipline, too, although it's still often a struggle, to be honest.

Fair warning I know many people who love strattera, but it knocks me out cold. I basically spent a summer sleeping through everything as a kid

I can say not being able to get my normal medicine has hurt me significantly, and new insurance just says no ...it's bullshit

Short release methylphenidate.

Adderal XR 20-30mg and realizing when its an off day dont commit to anything serious.
