| You can do what I do. My doctor let me change my dosage whenever I feel. She trusts me for this. She is also an ADHDer herself. I've found that depending on circumstances I can do well with 10~20mg of the cheapest generic methilfenidate, non LR/XR/whatever, so in my country is USD 10/20 per month.
I went as high as 50mg of the USD 100/mo famous ones. Over time with my other therapist (psych) I trained myself to have some discipline processing my feelings, etc. Understanding the routines that were lacking. Here it's common to have regular meetings the psychiatrist/psychologist combo. So different perspectives. My biggest issues were knowing what to do, but not getting it consistently, like: - getting x minutes of sunlight during the morning, and be consistent almost everyday - drink water even on hyper focus moments - pay more attention to breathing even when I'm in the zone doing a lot of apparently rewarding tasks - trying to stop on unproductive hyper focus moments, realizing when they come But the medication is necessary, since changing habits, specially the bad ones is harder. I use the meds as an opportunity to understand myself and having easier time relearning my habits, and getting rid of the bad ones. good luck! |
