Between bar dues, CLE credits, professional memberships, and networking events, I realized I’m spending nearly $5,000 a year just to stay employable.

ADHD medication with high Blood Pressure?

I found ADHD meds helpful when I worked in consulting in my 20s. I stopped the meds when I went back to school. Also have had High BP since late 20s. 15 years away, I am back in consulting and loving it, however my difficulties juggling so many projects/tasks is holding me back.
