Struggling with my ADHD at the moment. I've always handled it with no medication. Am I being stupid.
I hate taking medication. I always find the side affects outweigh the benefits. How do you guys handle your ADHD? Any help would be a life saver at this point. I'm failing myself and my family.
Good lord why is the post minimum 280 - 3500. Who out there is posting a 3,500 word elaborate monographs of ADHD woes? Be gentle its my first post.
*Context for why I don't do medication
So I went to a psychiatrist when I got my first job out of college with my degree. I wanted to really attack and conquer my ADHD. I was prescribed Adderall and Xanax by my psychiatrist. It did not go well. I ended up losing a job, more importantly the girl I wanted to marry, my home….landed in rehab. I've been sober for 4 years now and have an amazing wife. Id like to keep it that way.
