Guys with ADHD, has medication helped with time management?

Yes.

I highly recommend going to see a doctor to see if you have it and if they will give you meds.

I only take it on days I am busy or have school but it helps me so much.

Even helps manage my attitude when I feel like I'm wasting time, which is a huge turn off to friends who like to go out to eat and I used to absolutely hate it I feel like it's such a big waste of time.

But medication helps with that, and random anger issues I used to get when things weren't perfect or anything.

Idk how extreme yours is but it definitely helps, idc if people say they don't want to rely on meds to function but it helps tremendously.

That shit is poison. Long term amphetamine use has some horrible side effects. I would stay away from any of the amphetamine salts or other stimulant derivatives.

The ritalin- and adderall-type drugs make me feel cracked out and kill my appetite.

CBD, meditation, and consistent lifting have worked best and most sustainably for me.

Generic drugs like modalert and avrigil will help you if you are in no place to afford Provigil. You can read more about it with the keyword modafinil, or search for the community where they share experiences

You might want to check out the ADHD subreddit, although it's mostly a lot of circlejerks about how they all relate to the same problem but really no tangible solutions.

Personally I do want to get an official diagnosis and try out medication myself, but am putting it off to join the military (as they don't allow any sort of mental illness).

Otherwise, things I have been doing personally is reassessing how I actually spend my time and trying to develop habits that will maximize its efficiency. I've been picking up daily readings on TRP, Self-help, nutrition, lifting, etc.

Big things that will help you-- Cutting out porn if you haven't done so already. You don't need that cheap dopamine rush that in the end will make you feel like shit.

Brushing up on nutrition. Focus on low-carbs (especially shit carbs (rice, grains, breads) but you do not have to completely remove it. Just do so in moderation). Eat lots of good fats like avocados, oils, nuts. What you put in your body drastically affects your health in more ways than you can imagine.

Lifting/Exercising (which I assume you already do). Focus on compound lifts. Your health = King in your ability to do what you want to do.

Id say for your purposes you should stay away from adderall and vyvanse as they are a bit stronger and more addictive.

There is no such thing. ADHD is like the blue pill of medicine.

I was the poster child for ADHD until I decided to take some control of my life. I used ADHD as an excuse for my lack of motivation and poor social skills. I took Adderall for about four years starting in 11th grade, and I while I enjoyed the ability to organize my day and look people in the eye and enunciate, I knew I couldn't keep taking a neurotoxic stimulant just to operate every day.

I would recommend against seeking a prescription for any "ADHD medication." Most of them come with nasty side effects which almost outweigh their purpose IMO, and there are many more sustainable lifestyle changes that can be implemented to combat ADHD. After years of trial and error, I learned to control my brain mainly with exercise (lifting + intense cardio), extreme low-carb diets, and cutting out porn and masturbation. This is pretty basic RP advice anyway which makes me question the validity of "ADHD" as a diagnosis in the first place, it seems inevitable for a boy to be deemed defective in a world tailored to girls. I also take a handful of supplements daily which really help me pull my shit together, mainly L-theanine.

Don't take Adderall, BECOME Adderall. Best of luck to you, brother
