For some reason adderall has worked best for me, but I have not tried vyvanse yet.

Vyvanse if it wasn’t so expensive

Vyvanse >>> Adderall for me. Never tried Concerta.

In comparison to Adderall XR, Vyvanse has fewer, less harsh side effects, and a much smoother energy for me.

Your experience is gonna be different from ours. Different people's bodies react differently to these medications.

Try whatever your doctor suggests. They'll probably suggest whatever is considered the first line medication. If you don't like it after trying it for a while, try a different one.

This is so true. I didn't mind taking Ritalin but my sister HATED it. We had completely different experiences on it.

I have only tried adderall and concerta and I prefer adderall. I wanted to try vyanse but unfortunately, my insurance does't cover it and my doctor said it can be very expensive.

Hi fishes,

Just need your idea/experience (if any) on the following query:
I already have an offer with CTS.
I am also getting offers from other MNCs, but for other locations.
If I wish to join CTS only, but want to negotiate with them, on the latest offer I have with an expectation that they atleast match the same amount (if not offering me more).
So just wanted to know, whether at all they would provide me a revised offer or would they be strict enough to let me go & not negotiating at all?

Realizing why agencies are still struggling to find enough Business Affairs employees. And know several people who this has happened to. One is pay. Salaries have been going up the last year or two. And some agencies aren’t raising their pay as fast as others. But another big factor is employers are trying to find candidates that check every box. So if a candidate has 19 out of 20 required skills or experiences, they aren’t being given offers. Even if that one piece can be easily taught …

Does anyone have advice/ experience with disclosing or advocating for your ADHD support needs in highly toxic environments? Or getting formal disability accommodations?

I’m on a VERY toxic project where I really need accommodations but I am scared there will be repercussions if I personally disclose my ADHD like I have on past projects.

I submitted an HR request for accommodations and it’s been ignored for over a week.

I really can’t take another week of spending every day crying.

Happy Friday. Just a reminder of a few things:

- ADHD is a disability, but it’s not the end of the world
- give yourself a break. Your brain needs it more than you realize
- medication is not a cure-all treatment. Medication + diet + exercise + self-organization is the key.
- ADHD causes us to feel emotions stronger than the average person.
- failure is inevitable, but so is success. Act accordingly, and be kind and fair to yourself
- life is hard, but that’s… wait, what was I saying? 😂😎❤️

I recently switched to Strattera (had been on Adderall for 6 years) to see if it’d help my sleep issues. Been taking for 6 weeks total, almost 4 at the current dose. My focus isn’t too bad, but I’ve been feeling really… blah… and unwell later in the day and not as motivated overall. Also been having more obsessive impulses, though my anxiety seems to be better. Anyone else have this experience? Did it change over time?

Do you find that consulting is a good fit for ADHD? You get a bench, lots of chances to improve your work style and learn what you're good at.

What if I need to spend more time in consulting so I can learn how to control my Adhd?
