Struggling with ADHD without medication

Thank you all so much! I’ll try all these things until I can get into the doc and go from there.

I’ve also been on Provigil and that isn’t a physical stimulant it just works with the awake receptors in your brain- it is a schedule IV so it’s low chance of abuse- it helped me too.

So there is this nootropic drink called DOSE I actually alternate that with my Adderall so I don’t have to take the Adderall every day and it works great- I would say ALMOST as good as the Adderall. Highly recommend it. It is designed to help you focus and have non- jittery energy and stamina. Very high quality ingredients and nothing addictive. I think it’s all natural.

I am on meds ,but I had to deal so long with out them , and had to act like a nerotypical person. -positive saying helped or pretending to be something or always smiling has made me always smile (I know it's not great) - breathing , there's a good breathing app to help focus or wake up or get you to bed and anxiety ease or calm if your focusing to hard on something -sticky notes everywhere so not forgetting or hiding helpful quote or nice things to make you smile on those bad days -do a paragraph at the end on the day or week so you can try and understand times that you'll know to get a hug or corset ( I'll explain if you want)

Hey no problem! I struggled with the same thing last year!!

Thank you! I’ll mention that to my doc and request a nonstimulant.

*non-stimulant

You can get a non addictive no. Stimulant scrip. That is what I did. I am on Straterra and it works well.
