Adderall 2 days in a row now makes me paranoid, and I've never really been able to get a doc to prescribe vyvance or anything else, and frankly at this point, I'm afraid to do stimulants. Strattera made me feel weird.

Has meditation helped? cutting sugar, more exercise? keto? nofap? I'm really battling trying to focus on one task, then realizing I want to do 100 other tasks, so I start the research into all of them, thinking I'll do them all, one at a time, and 1000 browser tabs later (not an exaggeration 32gigs of ram can manage that), I realize I'll get none done.

Right?!

I can usually down about 4 energy drinks between breakfast and lunch and that kinda works, but that cannot be healthy. lol

I used to do that, but burnt out long ago. trying to back off the caffeine completely now, I think it's actually been making it much worse
