Thankfully, I don't have any urge to pick off the hair on my head. It's just facial hair. I do shave from time to time, but the shave isn't close enough. In fact newly shaved hairs are the most satisfying to pull out. I might have to go back and try razors again. I stopped using them because I could never get a good close shave and I figured if I can't get a good shave I might as well have the convenience of an electric shaver.

I actually don't have ADHD, I have narcolepsy, but it comes and goes (hence this being the 3rd time I've been on Dextroamphetamine).

Ah yep, I remember when I was originally diagnosed I learned about how the treatment for narcolepsy was similar!

Welp, as long as you can manage things, that's what matters.

I've tried various other treatments over time and they usually end up as very distracting blunders so I've settled where I'm at now for about 8 years.

I do shave my head about once every 6 months when I start fidgeting with my hair incessantly.
