   Medication for ADHD is very important. Exercise is also highly beneficial as well.

   Whenever possible, both of them should be combined for the best result in reducing ADHD symptoms.

   A genuine question:

   If medication is practically impossible in your situation, do you think regular exercise enough to manage ADHD symptoms?

     @restorante I don't think so, not by itself at least.

     Maybe combined with good practices and routines like reminders, lists, writing things down, etc. I can't be sure though. Personally, I needed medication. Everyone is different, brains are weird.

     @restorante I've only been on Adderall and Vyvanse.

     I prefer Adderall, but maybe that's because I was started on it, then was forced to switch to Vyvanse because of the US shortage and was a bit disappointed by the results.

     It just didn't have enough "umph" in it to help too much. They're different medications with different dosages though and maybe I didn't have time to get my dosage correct.

     Experience may vary.

     @BeAware Medication is indeed very great.

     If it is not too personal, do you prefer Ritalin or Adderall or perhaps other?

     Edit: totally agree with the list and journaling.

     @restorante for clarity, I have switched back to Adderall since the Vyvanse wasn't working for me in a comfortable timeframe. 🤷♂️

     I have been on both XR and IR Adderall. Both are similar, but XR works for 12-14 hours vs IR working for 8-10.

     @BeAware I am glad Adderall works for you and I wish you will have the right dosage of Vyvanse soon'

     Thanks so much for sharing your experience. :D

     Affects different people differently. Adderall did not do anything for me, Vyvanse saved my marriage.
