I want to start an organization for people with ADD/ADHD in advertising. So many of us have it and actually draw our creativity from it but no one talks about it and how it benefits and hinders us

Hyperfocus and compulsively reading/skimming a billion different things online everyday both help me with some of my (strat) work. But of course it can be a huge problem for focusing to get things done efficiently. Adderall is a lifesaver for me

like

I’ve tried adderall and vyvanse. Vyvanse was bad, similar to what you describe. I find adderall mellower. Also you can usually break the tabs so you can take a lower dosage if you feel like you’ve been putting too much stress on your body or haven’t gotten enough sleep. I would recommend starting adderall at a low dose, 10-20mg, and make sure you eat at least a small breakfast BEFORE taking to mitigate side effects

I would be really down for this! Adderall helps me immensely with focus and getting work done but I’m always worried that it changes my demeanor in a noticeable way at work. Would love an organization or group (or even a bowl) to discuss this type of stuff!

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay. I have an opportunity outside of healthcare that would pay more and challenge me in new ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!

I am leaving retail pharmacy after 15 years. I am opening a 403b pharmacy for a FQHC. I don't believe that retail pharmacy will be able to sustain itself with patient costs skyrocketing.

How many times do we see people getting free prescriptions via government coverage that drive better cars than we do?
