I think I'm learning about myself that no single solution will be my miracle solution. I try things and they work for a bit, then it just wears off.

Well I'm in that place where I'm fed up and looking to try something new.

What apps or non-digital tools do you use to keep yourself on track?

I can't sleep if I drink it too late

Hello and sorry for the lack of posts lately, I've been enjoying time in the wilderness and off screens.

Please share whatever is coming up for you and don't hesitate to ask for support from fellow women with ADHD.

Stimulants like Adderall and its generic equivalents leech Magnesium from your body, which can lead to muscle tension, stress headaches, jaw tightness (especially at night), teeth grinding, and a variety of unpleasant side effects.

Take Magnesium Taurate or Magnesium Glycerate, as other types (like Magnesium oxide or citate) do not absorb well at all & may actually cause stomach issues & absorption tolerance.

Take around 500mg at night, give it around 20 minutes, and you may find that you feel a difference very quickly! Especially if you are deficient.

Be sure to take both your meds and the Magnesium with lots of water! Stay hydrated throughout the day!

As with anything, if you're unsure, are taking other medications, or have other health issues, it's best to talk to a healthcare professional before adding supplements into your regimen.

I'm not a medical professional! Just someone who's been on meds for around 10+ years — giving advice that I wish I had known earlier.

Stay safe & healthy, folks!
