Does anyone increase their dosage each day of the work week? I feel like if I stay on the same dosage my concentration, focus and productivity decreases each day

That sounds like sleep deprivation. Happened to me on extended release where I’ll get progressively worse through the week. Try taking meds earlier in the morning if possible?

What do you mean by anxious? Like increase anxiety? I get a weird amount of anxiety and/or “euphoria” or hyper ness when I increase dosage. So it’s a weird double edged sword. Increase helps with more motivation but seems like for the first 2-4h I get more hyper and anxious and then rest of day is better focus

The sleep is not possible. We seem to need to be always on 16h/day if not 18h. I am abysmal by Thursday and especially Friday. I don’t know how to explain that, frankly I can’t.

I just started meds yesterday and the change in my focus and attention to detail is mind blowing. My only concern is, just yesterday I had a tough feedback session with my manager around how I’m taking too long to complete my work, giving them anxiety around close deadlines. I’m new in the job (3 months in). Should I explain anything about my adhd to my manager or just wait for them to notice the change in me?

Yoga folks! I used to do yoga and exercise frequently. Things happened, getting back on the wagon. I'd love to work up to a daily practice even if it's just a few mins - but I do need to incorporate other programming as I've got some covid lbs to lose. For those of you who do yoga regularly, wondering how you incorporate and/or balance your practice vs. other types of workouts or if you mostly do strengthening type yoga in that case.

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before. What I'm confused about is that even as a teenager I could read entire books overnight. But the last two years of high school I started selectively zoning out and the problem has become worse since. I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)
