    As a fellow ADD-haver, I advocate for you to continue trying new medications. Studies show that ADD/ADHD responds to medicine better than almost any other psychiatric disorder, even if it sometimes requires multiple revisions or a cocktail to achieve the desired effect.

    If you’re intrigued, I will refer you to this lecture by Dr. Barkley. The entire lecture is valuable, though I recognize that asking someone to watch 60+ minutes of jargon is not overly helpful! To make things easier – if you’ll pardon my layman’s editorializing – I’ve curated a list of specifically relevant timestamps:

    • Stimulants, including new formulations and delivery systems
    • Stimulant alternatives, some of which may be combined w/ each other and/or stimulants on a doctor’s recommendation
    • The neurobiology of executive dysfunction and the neuroprotective argument for seeking medication
