What Medication do you guys take in order to fully focus on work

[nekv]

Turns out running 3 different startups while being a senior in highschool is seriously fucking up my head, I only have a few weeks before finals and everything is due. I still wanna manage my businesses and finish the school year, so naturally I'm turning to medication. Thinking about trying adderall, and I already drink a shit ton of energy drinks, how else can I enter flow state?

Why do you have 3 startups instead of focusing on one and making that an actually successful business

tbh not sure what a start up is since im going into medical but my dad owns businesses in multiple different like things if yk what i mean like ones tax the other ones for events and ones for travel its better to have multiple different ones at the start because if one fails u still have something to keep you on your feet? ( this is really dumbed down version)

I had zero response to methylphenidate. Not sure why. Will try instant-release in the future because my psych only ever prescribed me XR meds.

AFAIK there’s nothing inherently wrong with methylphenidate, to answer your question.

General advice is to try other meds if one isn’t doing what you need. If methylphenidate isn’t working, try dextroamphetamine and see how that goes.

what? they are all ADHD meds but not the same compound theyll get the same job done but some do it better than others

Well, the logical first step is to figure out what you can do to reduce your workload. Why 3 startups? Are you even able to focus on 3 startups enough that your output is high-quality?

Considering adderall is a mix of both dextroamphetanine and levoamphetamine, you may get physical sides that you don’t want.

Look into other medications. You can try lisdexamfetamine (benefits may come at the cost of your sleep), you can try instant-release dextroamphetamine, you can try instant-release methylphenidate, etc. All of them will give you the motivation and focus benefits you’re seeking, some better than others.

This isn’t a suggestion. Don’t take any of these if you don’t need them or aren’t getting them prescribed.

It is also stupid to take stimulant medication without having your day and tasks organized. You will very likely end up going down the rabbit hole of a completely irrelevant topic for the next few weeks instead of finishing the work you need to do.

Use Google Calendar to block out your work blocks and Google Tasks to store the tasks you need to do.

EXAMPLE: I have a somewhat complex video I need to work on and instead of doing that, I just wrote all of this out for you lmfao. Don't be like me.
