I’m just taking 5mg of ritalin 3 times a day. I also take wellbutrin, and it’s SR. So most days that combo makes the difference, I got super lucky on medications. Is that an option for you?. I can take ritalin (methylphenindate) a couple hours before bed and sleep if I’ve gotten up early and gotten some kind of exercise, maybe because it’s only 5mg. A healthy snack like absolutlyadhd eats is what I need to do about 7 pm, maybe just a little tea instead of coffee. I’m sure some exercise would help too. In the past I used to just take a really quick power nap, it’s super hard though. I don’t have a “medz wearing off crash”. I get super sleepy about 7 though…
A strong part of me doesn’t want to be normal and conform to all the new rules and strategies of living with adhd. I know this doesn’t make sense. I’ll have a better life if I just follow the new guidelines I’ve got, they work!. I’ve been using my disability as an excuse to just rebel at simple things like sticking to a routine for too long. Especially getting up at the same time, going to bed at the same time. There, I finally admitted that… ugh. I’ve just busted myself.
Sedona, can you try any different combinations of medication? I’m sure right medication is the key ingredient for lot’s of us. The protein snack too. We gotta hit this thing from every angle. Have you watched these videos? This one is good strong ADHD medicine. Take your medicine! (please) http://totallyadd.com/sponsored-video-3-holistic-treatment-approach/
The video’s cover a lot of important stuff, especially the part where I have to admit that I think I’m weird in the last min. of it. That’s why I’m getting counseling. I still find video’s that help me, then I realize I’ve seen it about 2/3 the way through!. It’s terrible how persistent this adhd crud can be, huh?
Darn, I wanted to have at least one short post…
