Seeking advice for managing ADHD and executive dysfunction

What do you guys do for your ADHD and/or executive dysfunction? I've taken Adderall RX a long time off and on but the physical side effects are strong. I'm considering asking about going on Strattera, a non stimulant drug.

Try vralar. It's different. Be off Adderall for a year I take vralar it covers adhd,anxiety and schizophrenia. Been on it for 2 weeks fells different. Might get a hot flash but it been working a little I noticed.

That's also in the UK. Vitamins don't help with ADHD but it could be different down there.

I've been able to deal with my ADHD symptoms more in my thirties without medication, but when I was on any medication in my twenties, the non-stimulants were less effective in terms of focus, but were less harsh to take physically. I struggled more with hyperactive thoughts, focus, and finishing tasks with my ADHD, so the non-stimulants just weren't for me personally. I don't know what particular symptoms you have and/or struggle with, but I'd definitely talk to your PCP/specialist on what's best for you and your body. Good luck ❤
