Anyone here ever taken Focus Factor? I’m on Strattera but am considering a switch because the regular appointments and cost of medication really adds up. Am curious to know if anyone feels like Focus Factor helped.

How are you all doing, exercise-wise, physically, mentally, and emotionally?

Hi y’all,
I shared an intermediate workout program (Back/Legs/Arms&Shoulders/Leg/Chest split) with a few friends the other day and figured I could also share it with others if interested.

It’s a program I follow outside of my 12-16 training block preps, and if anyone wants, I can share it with them. It’s for strength training.

Also happy to explain what any of the exercises are if someone wants the workouts and doesn’t know the benefit or how to do them.

Feel free to DM me about it

Cheers

So are we considered part of the neurodivergent community?

I’m officially depressed. Lost my job last month, family is aware of my situation and doesn’t care to reach out. I’m living out of my car to cut back. I haven’t landed ONE offer and am considering waitressing. I’m noticing I go to bed around 9/10, and wake up anywhere from 6:30-8:00 (this is a lot). The only parts of my day that bring me happiness are when I’m eating (I love food and I’m also a stress eater), and when I’m asleep (because I’m not actively aware of anything going on). 🥺

Apparently responding to “What’s your worst pregnancy symptom?” with “People telling me their traumatic birth stories” is an unacceptable answer.

Ashwagandha. Look into it. With the Adderall shortage this has been an absolute life saver in my daily supplement pile.

Partners: How much harder do you work now than as a SM/D? Maybe give us a sample of an avg week...

How do you keep yourself sane during the two weeks wait? Going crazy over here.

Just need to vent...my favorite Chinese restaurant has “shirataki noodle lomein” on their menu. I was so excited, ordered it, ate the entire thing and thought...the texture seems off. (Contd)

Best gym membership for traveling consultants?

I’m going to be taking the bar for the first time. Does anyone have experience with requesting accommodations for the bar exam? I was diagnosed late in life so I’m worried that not having accommodations during law school will make this process difficult. Additionally, any study tips/schedules/prep courses you recommend for lawyers with ADHD?!

Has anyone switched from 5 mg of Adderall XR to 10 mg? Can you describe the difference? I just started and feel the subtle improvement from before, but not sure if it should be more apparent/helpful.

Has anyone figured out OneNote? I’m trying to get organized...again.

Share your best work tips and tricks! For example, I recently spent about an hour setting up rules in Outlook to auto-filter junk emails and non-urgent emails (client alerts, data room notifications, bar association emails, etc.) into a separate folder that I can check a couple times a day. Don’t know how I didn’t think to do this years ago, but that’s about 50 fewer distractions each day since I’m one of those people who checks every email notification.

I've struggled a lot with my ADHD in my new position. Lately I've had some really good days and done good work. I know I should be happy about it, but my thoughts keep getting negative, like I know it won't last. Do you guys ever get imposter syndrome like this? How do you deal with it?

I’ve been trying to figure out dosage and medication over the past month and wanted some insight from people who may have more experience with diff doses. I started with 5mg Adderall for 2 weeks but it stopped being effective around the 4-5th day. I switched to 10 mg for a week and it was good but a bit up and down, so switched to Vyvanse 30 mg for a week, which was too strong. I’m now on 15 mg Adderall, but it feels like I can’t concentrate and I’m scattered. Question in comments:

Anyone suffer from PMS/PMDD and notice your hormones basically overpower your meds? In spite of taking my meds, I feel unfocused, fatigued, increased appetite, etc.?

My doc sent me the wrong prescription this month (20 mg IR, which was my old prescription, instead of 30 mg XR). I forgot how bad the IR headaches and crash were…

Have any of you found a cbd that really helps with focus?

How do you stealthily ask for help? I see a lot of you mentioning that you ask your partners to give you deadline, have your assistant check in, etc. That sounds great, but I'm so nervous about looking like the odd one out or revealing my ADHD in the process. So I haven't brought myself to do it yet.

Welp. Finally had enough and pulled the trigger. Told my HR I have ADHD and asked for accommodations. No response yet.

Those of you on Adderall—do you find that you have a harder time holding onto your thoughts when on medication? I feel much better on the medication, but I think it’s doing something to my memory.

Has anyone had any experience with online platforms prescribing ADHD medications? I’ve seen ads for Done and wanted others input. I was diagnosed 21 years ago and have been treated by doctors every month since, so I don’t need an initial diagnosis. But my health insurance changed and my doctor is no longer covered. I can’t get in to a new doctor without a long wait, nor do I have time to take off work for the appointment, which is why I was leaning towards a virtual appointment. Thanks!

I’m a 9th year in Big Law and have been struggling to get much work done the last 1.5 months. Mentioned this to my doctor at my recent visit, and she offered to increase my Vyvanse dosage, but I told her I wanted to see if it got better soon. I’m wondering now if it’s burnout. Anyone else experience burnout and see a decrease in the effectiveness of your meds, and if so, how did you overcome it?

Been struggling with my ADHD/depression more over the past few weeks than ever before. I am at a serious risk of losing my job for failure to meet billables and I can’t bring myself to fix the problem. I am normally an over achiever, but new to this job- so I don’t have a reputation to lean on here. I have not disclosed my conditions. Literally terrified and not sure how to pull myself out of this. Grateful for any advice or just to know others have made it through something similar.

What’s the best advice/strategy you’ve adopted for lawyering with ADHD?
