Struggling with ADHD and Addiction: Seeking Medication Advice

There are non stimulants meds you can try. I know with bipolar disorder they might not want to give you stimulants. I would say go to your doctor and talk about your options. Also you can try therapy but as someone with adhd I know that it can be hard because adhd makes it so hard to function. Exercise also helps me a lot too, even though I haven’t done it in awhile because of time. I love to work out, go on walks/hikes and I like to do dance. When I was in high school I was able to do well off meds because I did dance and marching band.

This may not work for you because of how severe your ADHD is but how much coffee do you drink? I've found that I caffeine-ate a few times a day (in large doses mind you) it helps a lot, but again, depends on the severity.

Or vyvanse once a day , but it doesn’t seem to last long enough

Adderall Ir 3x a day, or focalin xr 2x a day

Your going to need a stimulant, all of which are abusable.

I’m taking adhansia xr. It took a few months until I got to the proper dose for my adhd.
