I was diagnosed with ADHD a few weeks ago, ive been put onto the waiting list for titration to start meds but it looks like its still gonna be a few months. I could really do with getting my meds asap as ive got exams and coursework coming up, anyone have recommendations for stuff to help with keeping me focused? I’m currently just downing monsters like they’re water whenever I need to do work
Something that has worked wonders for me is buying whole guarana seeds and sucking/chewing on one before/during class. Keeps me alert and focused and I don’t have a caffeine crash afterwards.
Where do you get these and do you have trouble sleeping at night?
I picked them up from my local herb shop, Twisted Thistle Apothecary, you can buy them online too. I have trouble sleeping in general, but not because of the guarana, I’ve taken a nap after class no problem
Thank you, I will give it a try.
I tried many forms of caffeine as well, and this was the best. You’d think black tea evenly distributed or small cups of coffee would have the same effect, but no. Don’t ask me why, guarana works best for a smooth effect without peaks and downs.
You can’t make anything nice like coffee with it, so imo, best to just swallow the powder in capsules.
