So I did the route where the Dr's medicated me, honestly don't put yourself through that. I found I felt focused but other aspects I was less focused, my anger levels were through the roof and I could flip over the most minor stuff! I've now been clear of meds for around 7-8 months now. I have dabbled a bit in shrooms, had some messages come through (I don't know whether that was my subconscious talking to me). I still find day to day stuff a struggle but who doesn't, am I right?

I keep seeing some ads for adhd apps which can help, they add routine to your life which it seems you are lacking. Drink plenty of water, exercise (I should do this myself) read, learn a new skill.

One of my mains struggles as an adhd adult is a lot of the advice given to me involved doing what I enjoy, which is where my issue came. I had gotten to a point where I didn't know what I enjoyed anymore, some days I still don't. That's a difficult hurdle to overcome or at least it was for me!

You got this! I believe in you!

Big Love and Guidance 🐄💚

this, same experience.


without doxing myself i may or may not work in medical and im convinced the ‘adhd’ treatments arnt worth shit

We are here :))

I used to get relief from home grown mush bags but a bit cautious now I have a child and was on antidepressants before and not now , scared a bit of my mind and things 🙈

Hello
Have you tried microdosing before?
Message me if you wanna give it a try there are many websites discussing it as an alternate treatment for ADHD.

I’ve found exercise (heavy weights) and microdosing has definitely helped.

My partner and I are both ADHD (my partner possibly AuDHD)

I'm medicated with amphetamines, my partner not.

I find the meds helpful - they help me most in regulating my emotions more than I am able to do on my own. I find I'm more patient, more able to organise, and calmer.

My partner self medicates with green, but it doesn't really do much for him (from my perspective) other than making him feel less anxious.

I've been considering looking into l-tyrosine supplements (also called l-dopa) as these are the initial building blocks of dopamine in the brain. Might also try adding l-tryptophane as well, for a serotonin boost.

Sleep, for me, is the most important thing. Regular, good, long enough sleep. If you've got poor sleep hygiene, I'd suggest starting there to see if you can help yourself feel better without meds or chemicals.

Best of luck to you, friend. It ain't easy out there.

I took lytosine it helped me short term and also becopa helped but after a couple months benefits seemed to stop, have managed to buy some modafinil from a website which helped me as well for a bit but been waiting 3 years to get seen when I was on ADHD meds as a kid and now mid 30s , life was eye opening and upsetting how well methelthedrate helped my mind when I had the chance to try again a few years ago just a waiting game and hoping they will help me

you should speak to your gp about your legal right to choose, you can be referred to a private clinic for assessment/treatment and the nhs will pay, adhduk website has a right to choose page with the different providers

just a quick insert, 2 years on vyvanse was good for focusing on one thing but destroyed me
emotionally.

honestly getting alot of protien and sleep does wonders, ive been off vyvanse for 2 months now.

and im gonna say it weed is a problem for some with adhd can make symptoms worse so possibly on your break it may be an eye opener!

feel free to dm if you need any advice i fear doxing myself like this haha

Avoid the meds, it never helps, I was misdiagnosed ADHD as a late teen and put on straterra (atomoxetine) 80mg, they wanted me on 120mg due to size & weight but the 80mg caused me to have a psychotic episode and tried to jump off a flyover after about 4-5 months on the straterra. After crisis team etc got involved, I pulled off the meds completely and took to MJ for the first time (was anti-smoking my entire life until that point).

If you were to go down that road, check out shroom microdosing, I tend to grab some cheap shake when I need a t-break and just smoke it like a tobacco substitute until it runs dry and by that point my tolerance drops some and then the good flower is like a nice treat.

Ultimately though these things are very personal in experience and no two folks even with the same symptoms and diagnosis won't live the same lives with the same outcomes and effects.. the real advice is you need to centre yourself and be OK being who you are, conditions don't define us - they are a part of us, no different than accepting your ears or fingers.

Talk therapy was the best thing I ever did other than smoke the Holy herb!!

Diagnosed mixed type at 38 in February. Still titrating. Concerta XL had minimal effects apart from making me sweat excessively.
About to start Elvanse in the next day or two.
Hoping for improvement from elvanse or else I will probably just got MC route.
Oh and the amount of folks without any experience who told me lion's mane is more effective than stimulants 🤣
I was with ADHD360 via right to choose. They have been excellent.

Hi bud I myself live with adhd and was prescribed stimulant meds but it was not long before I stopped taking them as they did not help my adhd, I would struggle to sleep and they were meant to help me to relax when all they did was made me buzzy. They also affected my Sex life and not in a good way if you know what I mean 😉.
So I had read about microdosing psychedelics to help with adhd and so I purchased some mushrooms from LB to try microdosing and it worked so well I started to grow shrooms to supply my own medication and that’s also what led me to open my own shroom store on here. To say that microdosing shrooms just fixed my adhd is a massive understatement, they improved all areas of my life my mental health is the best it’s ever been. Cause I know how much of a burden ADHD can be I would like to offer you a free weeks worth of Microdosing Capsules if you would like to try microdosing, I know how life changing it was for me and would love to help to see if it can be for you too. If you’re interested just direct message me and I will arrange it with you bud. 👍

Hello brother, was reading this thread as it resonates deeply with me, seeing your reply here makes me want to chat. Fancy dropping me a DM?

noopept is a relatively benign peptide developed for cosmonauts in the 1970s. it has a clean record since then and is very helpful for focus

i know how bad this is to hear, but literally anything you take every day will stop working sooner or later and now you still have adhd but now a drug problem too. drugs are a terrible way to address any chronic problem, a real last resort - they can be a good way to chill out for a bit if you're exhausted or if you just need a change of perspective, and they're certainly cheaper than five star hotels - but don't underestimate how long cannabis tolerance can take to fade or how much even a mild dependence (if you have a tolerance, you have a dependence) can disrupt your life, especially sleep, especially if you are adhd. learn to live with neurodiversity (there is some good advice in other people's comments - don't eat sugar or processed food much), then get high now and again for a break from having to - that's my advice, although how relevant it is for you i have no idea. also, t breaks need to be looong. if you have a high tolerance, really looong. thc gets dissolved in the fat in your body and takes ages to leech back out. you'll see what i mean.

whatever it ends up taking, you'll get the hang eventually and life'll get a lot easier. honestly, you'll already feel a lot better after a t break. do it now.

I waited years too mate it’s awful. Sorry you’re struggling :( To get boosted up the list there are a few things you can do, DM and I’ll fill you in on what I know.

I’m highly adhd and autistic af and frankly off my fucking head 😂

I’m on elvanse now and it’s a lysdexamphetamine which is the greatest thing I’ve ever tried. Now I’m totally focused all the time and so much calmer when I’m not on it because there’s no build up of that adhd mental exhaustion. If you get offered that eventually take it. But speed does the exact same job, it’s literally the same thing so if you know a whizz guy that’s the best thing. So says all the science

Before I goty meds I found cutting out sugar makes a HUGE difference. Smoke wise I like a 50/50 or sativa dominant. Stardawg and Blue Dream worked best for me but any lemon strain is ideal. Red seal hash is probably my biggest tip, it’s perfect for calm and focus in the day and is prettty cheap. Hashman did have some but he’s not showing up on LB for me for some reason so I can’t check for you sorry.

Ideally you need a higher CBD level in your smoke.

For sleep a heavy indica with a high thc content is the only option. I use northern lights to sleep but hard to get so I’m smoking Titanic hash atm from Green Avenger. Very strong and really settles my head at night. Great seller and great value. One of my favourites

Good luck mate, hope they get to you quick

Hiya mate ye I am
I recommend rso personally best thing I've found to help with concentration in small doses. I don't recommend the doctors amphetamine based meds personally but some people do find they help

Also when you get get your brain in gear for it exercise this was the first sign in me I was obsessed with with exercise way past the point of a normal kid 😆

family members with adhd, theyve said denying medication is the best thing ive done.
adhd meds are not a fix and adhd is not a problem that even needs fixing.
try changing your structure to one that fits you (even if thats no structure) and try psychological tricks like body doubling which always helps me!
dont drug yourself into being okay, no drugs will EVER make you "Normal".
! Remember your body is a master chemist and it can and will make your adhd worse if you stay on meds!

It’s no accident-that’s all I can add.
I wish you the best.
Don’t accept a crap life for 35 years.
Get help.

Apparently, from a medical source, cannabis is no good for adhd. You need stimulating, I mean coffee not coke lol.

We disagree somewhat with this because we’ve found micro dosing with sativa dominant actually has profound benefits for adhd :)

coffee makes me so instantly tired it's crazy, I don't drink it any more but if I can't sleep a few shots of espresso knocks me right out lol

took me a few years to figure out the days I felt extra shit at work were the ones I drank coffee... I just assumed because everyone else pounds coffee to 'wake up' it'd help me be more alert, not the case it turns out!

that's terrible advice.

I'm Audhd and officially unmedicated, gf is adhd and medicated but that has all been private cos of the waiting list. She finds it really helps her, and I've known others it has worked for but also there are lots who find it doesn't work so well for them.

I don't really have an awful lot of advice other than chase up the place that you're waiting for, and ask to be put on cancellations list or whatever it is called so they call you if someone cancels their appointment.

Don't sit on the NHS waiting list mate you'll never get there, google Right To Choose ADHD. For adult ADHD referrals you can get them to refer you private but u still don't have to pay, just skips the insane waiting times. I got diagnosed at 30 and medicated and it changed my life. I really thought I had chronic fatigue or some shit everything was such a struggle I couldn't do anything for more than an hour without feeling exhausted, would spend half the day at work staring at my monitor trying to find the motivation to do anything. I still struggle but it's like a veil is lifted feeling like "is this what it's like for everyone else?" It's not a miracle pill and it's not done much for my forgetfulness or distraction but it really helps so much. But I'm inattentive not hyperactive so might depend what your probs are.

any medicated biggas here how do you find edibles interacts w your meds? I feel like they don't hit as well if I've taken my meds but not taking my meds I'm a zombie and I hate it. But my weed tolerance goes up stupidly fast so idk if it's that rather than the meds... I can take 10mg after a break and get a whole body high and take 50mg 2 days later and get nothing lol. trying to work out what the best combo is here...

Relevant to ADHD/Stims - can someone plz help clarify/confirm - moda is OK to buy and sell, right?

PS: someone mentioned the nootropic nopept… have you heard of/tried Phenylpricetam?

Try ginkgo biloba or niacin those are good with energy and brain focus you got this don’t let them think you need their medicines

Before I was diagnosed and began medication I used to use modafinal. It wasn’t perfect but def helped. I’d use it when I really needed to get shit done.
I’m on elvanse with a dex top up. I’m still titrating. It’s a mixed bag if I’m honest. I’m female and where I am in my cycle impacts the effectiveness. I can lock into a task if I start it. Otherwise I just lock into on fucking about. My sleep is shit. I use weed for that and to try chill me enough that my brain lets me watch tv. I’ve found it to be a bit trial and error but when my meds work they’re good. When they don’t, it’s a shit show. Initially I could feel like kick in like a bump. But not now. I dunno if that fucks with your head and makes you think they’re not working.

I'm on the same as you, have to make sure I'm not playing a game or on Wikipedia when the dex kicks in or I'll spend the next 5 hours researching some absolutely inane bollocks

And if you have any doubt they're not working try spending the weekend without them, you fast realise when you're back to how you used to be lol. For me it's like the elvanse just keeps me at a steady baseline of normal that I don't really notice, the dex gives me a kick and I only take it if I need to get something done. I try to go without on the weekends to keep tolerance down but it's shit without it so I just accept those days I'm not getting anything done so coast with edibles to at least be chill-lazy not miserable-lazy
