Diagnosed with ADHD at 40. Tried Vyvanse for a couple of months. It works in terms of depriving grogginess, afternoon post meal crash, and suppressing appetite (at times).

However, I still needed help planning/prioritizing my day,  listening and active note taking, and keeping myself accountable. So decided to replace meds with coffee. Also, the fact that most people on meds had to progressively increase their medication over time did not sit well with me. (cont'd)

Is it more difficult to hear (or process hearing) things when on stimulants? Several times people speak to me and then I feel I didn’t hear or understand them, never happens off stims: Any similar experiences?

Please give me remedies for acid reflux. Tums just isn’t cutting it anymore. Did anyone else have really bad acid reflux and do something/eat something/take something besides tums that worked ?

So I just had 2 tables fight in a restaurant. Table A coughed and table B said oh covid and laughed. Happens that table A is Asian and table B is white.
Table A assumed the joke is because they are Asian and table B says no, everyone got covid not just Asians it’s just a bad joke; who is right?
Table A escalated to a fight and had to be both separated and asked to leave. Who is right?

Hello. My mid-year review is coming up soon. My boss has been on partial sabbatical the last 3 months, so I have been covering for her. In this first half of the year, the other person on our 3 person team left, so I had to cover that. I have also had to train 2 people that ended up not working out or quitting. This will be my 6th year. I am an AVP at Credit Suisse in Raleigh and am currently making about 72K. Just trying to gauge if I should ask for a raise in this upcoming meeting.

I’ve been on the bench with less than 10% utilization for 3wks now. I’m a first year and the past month has been slower with not many new projects coming in.
