I commonly read youtube comments that state a drug like Strattera completely changed their adhd for the better.

Whilst I havnt tried this(yet) I wondered what other options exist?

The generic for Ritalin works wonders for me. Extended Release though, not regular or Sustained Release.

The second thing that most improved my ADHD was not trying to do anything complex or important in the evenings after focus is lost. Just let it be relaxation and gaming time so I don't need to clean up my failure in the morning.

Interesting. I'm usually wired in the morning, crash late afternoon/evening, and then get wired again at around 11pm.

I used to before being diagnosed when I worked 10-6 or noon to 8 shifts. Working 8-5 really fucks with my sleep and causes the evening brain fog.

But 8-5 pays way better.
