5-6, depending on the task. I try to write lists so .I stay focused and prioritize, but, eh, sometimes, I get off-track…

7-8 but I always get my work done so I don’t see it as a problem. 🤷‍♀️

Definitely a 10. I hate it so much. I don't know why I wait until the very last minute to do everything. No matter how hard I try, I have always been this way.

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)

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.
