Yeah…. But like, you get to choose to a degree what the root cause is, because there is always something more /root/.
Like all your health problems would be resolved by you not being alive anymore. Your DNA trying to be the basis of a living organisms just isn’t working out. Boom, solved. Oh, but you want to live… well I guess we could try a solution for a less root cause…
For me, adderall helps my adhd, but worsens my anxiety. I decided with my doc that I’d take anxiety meds with my adderall. But when we tried to add in a supplemental adhd med, Istarted getting recurring nightmares and having poor sleep. I could have taken a couple more pills to help w the nightmares and the general sleep… but that seemed like it was taking things too far, pills for pills for pills.
I will say, there are plenty of drugs and in plenty of dosages, you have to spend the time to find the right drug and amount, and timing.
And if you haven’t titrated before, you’dbe surprised how different a drug like Adderall can feel and work with as little as a 15% increase or decrease.
Dr Russell Barkley is incessant about taking the time to try different drugs and dosages to find what works best for you.
I found by accident (pharmacy randomly giving me slight variations in my prescription) that I’m much more receptive to Dextroamphetamine than amphetamine. Which is a thing for some people, but not one you’re likely really have a doctor help you identify.

ADHD care is such a mess
