ADHD meds definitely work and you’ll definitely be aware of the side effects very quickly. Luckily you can see if you like the effect have it completely out of your system in 24 hours if you so desire.

Yes, the only alternative I’ve found is Mt. Dew which is probably worse than amphetamines 😅

I mean, it’s not as good or long lasting, but it’ll get me through when I miss a med refill or something.

Caffeine is the only alternative that helps me.

Atomoxetine - I’ve been taking for about 8mo. It really helps me, but it’s expensive. It’s not addictive except for the fact that it works amazing on me.

I take adderall twice per day and I have found it to be hihgly effetive. I haven't noticed any negative side effects since starting on it a couple months ago.

Hi everyone, I am 4 days into my IUI process. I also recently found out that my UTI was not a UTI but instead Ureaplasma. My husband also tested positive.
We are waiting to hear back from the fertility specialist but I wanted to see if anyone has had this experience, or any knowledge. I’m nervous that the antibiotics will affect my ability to conceive, but just as nervous ureaplasma will make it difficult as well. I can wait until next month and start over but I really don’t want to. Any advice

We both want to end the relationship, have tried so many times, but we cannot.

I am moving to Bangalore the next weekend. Seems there is a slight increase in Covid cases, would it be better to come now or should I ask my manager to allow me to come to office after some weeks once everything seems fine?

16 weeks and so worried all of the stress I’m under is going to hurt the baby. Between work, my own scary (non-pregnancy) health stuff, the pandemic, my mom (who is a widow and lives alone, basically isolated by choice due to covid) is having health issues, and pressures to keep billable hours up, I’ve been having complete breakdowns. Today I spent almost the entire day crying and now have to make up the billable time this weekend. I really worry abt what effect this will have on the babe.

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. My family did not opt to put me on medication. I illegally discovered Adderall in college. Worked incredible. Got diagnosed after college & after having been fired from my first job. Passed the CPA exams on Adderall. Went off of it again. I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this? Does anyone else have this issue and was it resolved by taking medication?
