I mine's super bad too. I've mentioned to my psychiatrist that the meds only work a little bit but I keep feeling like something is missing. She just accuses me of drug seeking. I know that the literature says that ADHD meds are very effective and that it's critical to find the right drug at the right dose. It is very frustrating

what's meds are you on? Mine were working well at the beginning but not so great now. I'm currently on 50mg of Elvanse (lisdexamfetamine dimesylate). Either my dosage needs to be increased again or I need to try something different.

that's unfortunate :( You're absolutely right that finding the right meds for you is most important. I hope that you'll be able to find the right medication and dosage for you, and maybe a psychiatrist that is more understanding :')

My family thinks I have ADHD, and we’ve noticed that taking natural stimulants calms me down and focuses my mind. I have to drink green tea everyday because of its natural stimulant properties. 1 teaspoon of matcha or 2 cups of green tea is what I drink every day
