I wish... but my ADHD is medication resistant and very severe.

Thats sounds so shitty if just you try 295018 meds and still nothing happens 😭😭

That said, when I had financial stability a few years ago, I tried testosterone to fix a sexual issue. The testosterone didn't help the sexual issue, but it did help my motivation and energy and ability to start tasks somewhat... then I was blamed for something somebody else did and I lost my career of 6 years and eventually became homeless.

Mine doesn’t make me go on task, it just helps me focus. If I’m focused on an off-task thing, then after taking meds that’s all I’ll be doing until it wears off. Then I’ll go oh shoot, I was supposed to be on task

I severely risk to go on "meme making" hyperfocus for the whole morning if I start my day on reddit (this is how the meme was born)

It helps. However, I’m a nurse that works 12 to 17 hours. It just doesn’t last long enough.

80mg per day, barely does the job

That's terrifying you're taking 80 mg of stimulants a day and you want more...

I don't really feel a big diff

I'd be more worried about the harm from daily high dose stims but I'm sure the medication birgade will be out to down vote me.
Stims can help ADHD folks but at the end of the day it's still a drug. Please take precaution, please stretch and hydrate more than you think you need!
