I was diagnosed with ADHD a few weeks ago, ive been put onto the waiting list for titration to start meds but it looks like its still gonna be a few months. I could really do with getting my meds asap as ive got exams and coursework coming up, anyone have recommendations for stuff to help with keeping me focused? I’m currently just downing monsters like they’re water whenever I need to do work

I should have typed more. I meant advocating vyvanse over adderall. That’s my bad.

Oddly for me, Adderall is more effective than Vyvanse

Me too, although I’ve been on Mydayis for years now.

Vyvanse was really bad for me, deep depression, lack of focus and other stuff. Ritalin ended up being much better so it’s definitely worth trying a few different meds if you can.

Oh, yes, definitely worth trying both, though My doctor directed me towards Vyvanse cuz there is often less of an anxious effect, and I’m an anxious bitch 😂
