Products that keep me grounded, stable, and ready to take on life’s daily grind despite ADHD! After trying meds for a couple years, I weaned off and then explored alternatives until I achieved the same feeling of competence. Everyone’s experience is different but I’ve appreciated the chance to feel my best naturally - when I remember to take them! 🤣 My type is mostly inattentive with caffeine sensitivity, not hyperactive calmed by caffeine. I AM NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL AND NOTHING POSTED HERE SHOULD BE CONSTRUED AS MEDICAL ADVICE. Always discuss medications with your medical provider before adding any supplements to your routine. Do not stop taking prescription medication without discussing with your provider. I learned my body needed sufficient time to reset after weaning off prescriptions before slowly adding in any supplements. My notes of “caused anxiety” were a much more uncomfortable experience than two words imply and took several days to undo by stopping all supplements and then later adding back in the ones that appeared safe for me personally. I may receive a commission from purchases made through some links here but the commission did not affect my choice to share what I have used or how I felt when using it.
