Stimulants help a lot. Sometimes, I’ll catch myself getting motivated for the wrong task, though. I also have to force myself to eat sometimes. Lastly, I’d have a heart attack if I ever drank coffee.
I’m prescribed methylphenidate lr. It’s a lot less intense than amphetamines.
I went though just about every stimulant on the market about 20 years ago. Most did nothing, but a couple had me going through panic attacks for routine work issues. After two years on the pharma-go-round I’d had enough. I got this far in life rawdogging reality. How bad can it get?
Narrator: Yes.
Did you try again? Bodies change, I was in a group therapy where one guy said that meds didn’t help him when he was a kid, but now 15 years later he tried again and they work. Can be a big help.
Working on it. My current psych seems pretty set on “getting the depression under control” before tackling the ADHD. My dude… it’s all knotted up, Gordian style.
