Slow deep inhale through the nose, then hum. Just a low "hmmmmm" until there's no more air in your lungs. Repeat as necessary. Loosens the vocal cords, regulates breathing, the vibrating sensation helps to distract from anxious thoughts and you can do it discretely. I've done it while waiting for my turn during a presentation. Works for me.

I’ve taken Adderall for several years & it has helped a lot for my ADHD. However, recently I have been increasingly overwhelmed with balancing work, school, & home life. I am really struggling to manage my symptoms even while taking the maximum ER dosage. I recently started taking Strattera as well, but haven’t noticed much improvement. My doctor has suggested switching to Vyvanse instead. What are your thoughts on Vyvanse vs Adderall? Has anyone has had more success with it?
