What adhd medication has worked for you best. And why? I know everyone reacts to each & every medication differently. Also do you stack it with any supplements to help with your adhd symptoms?

My daughter (17y) and I both do really well with Adderral XR. For us, Ritalin and it’s family of drugs made us almost sleepy.

Adderral has worked great for me over the best for me over the years, but with the shortage I might have to look into something else unfortunately

Adderall for me. It saved me in school multiple times. I take it occasionally when there are big projects that need a big push.

Adderall 10 mg 3x day. Very lucky first med worked for me.

Concerta 38mg is a miracle for me, zero side effects!!!

Vyvanse worked best for me when I was taking medication but I have since stopped taking medications.

Strattera helped me sleep and was very subtle, Concerta made me a crazy person, and Vyvanse seems to be working well now for the past year and a half or so.

Dexedrine > Adderall. The latter caused too many side effects due to racemic isomer effects on peripheral nervous system.

Same applies to Focalin > Concerta. That proved less effective than dexedrine in the end.

I have only tried Vyvanse and I've haven't had any side effects. I've been using it for about six months now.

Personally I have found that adderall works best for me. I have also taken wellbutrin and ritalin and they did not work for me.

Finally found a provider who listens and is helping me get ADHD controlled. Also diagnosed me w/anxiety. Treating w/Adderall and Wellbutrin, but she's telehealth so can't prescribe anymore. Was transfering Rx to my PCP under her guidance but my BP was high at my yearly (was a particularly stressful day at work, BP was normal the last 3 years). PCP won't coordinate care until I see a cardio. Anxious something will be wrong and I can't be treated for ADHD anymore 😩 anyone else here w/high BP?

Looking for advice/input:

I’ve dealt with ADHD my entire life, although was just diagnosed last year. Throughout my career (assurance>industry>consulting), I’ve been able to “outwork” everyone else in the office to counter the lack of focus and other associated faux pas associated with the disorder. Recently have hot a point where I can’t put in the hours (3 yo/fam), and my work has taken a major hit. Anyone in consulting/assurance have any methods for managing this when it comes to PM duties?
