People say bacopa has been helpful but I haven’t tried.

Only one that I have found that is somewhat useful is DL-phenylalanine. I take it maybe once a week. I tried racetams in the past and they didn’t do anything for me.

Is anyone on a low dose of Adderall or a similar stimulant, and do you find it helpful/effective?

When I was diagnosed (at 20 yo) I started on Adderall XR and my psychiatrist essentially took a “keep upping the dose until you feel side effects” approach, even though I still saw some benefits at a lower dose. I’m currently unmedicated and am somewhat hesitant to restart, but feel I could see some benefit and better stability with the help of medication.
