Medication

It depends on the medication. Stimulants work immediately (as in you don’t go through a “build-up period) and you can titrate easier since they fully metabolize each day. Non-stimulants usually take 4-6 weeks to notice full effectiveness on initial start. Titrations don’t take that long but are not as quickly noticeable as they are with stimulants. Good luck!

I take a stimulant medication and it makes a massive difference in how I function. It works instantly because stimulants aren't build over time meds. Now, you do usually start at a low dose and work up so you don't get all drugged out feeling.

For me I can focus, I can get so much more done and happily, my mood is better, I'm less impulsive, and my brain can actually filter through thoughts.

I also have inattentive adhd and it’s insane how I wish I knew this sooner, I tried one or two before settling on Bupropion. It definitely helps! I am not sure it’s the best of the best if you find something amazing please let me know!
