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.
For me, Vyvanse changed my life. Self-discipline, too, although it's still often a struggle, to be honest.
I can say not being able to get my normal medicine has hurt me significantly, and new insurance just says no ...it's bullshit
Coffee and medication are what help me.
Short release methylphenidate.
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
Adderal XR 20-30mg and realizing when its an off day dont commit to anything serious.
Other than meds?
Actually getting enough sleep.
