Managing ADHD

I take adderall, but I end up taking four 10mg capsules instead of the one 10mg I am prescribed, also, I don't want to be dependent on any type of medications and I find myself unable to function without it. Please give some coping suggestions so I can try to manage it without any medicine
When you say ADHD, describe to me what that looks like for you? Are you just super distracted? Take on too many things at once? Etc.

no, i have adhd, I am super hyperactive as well as being easily distracted.
Have you tried talking to your GP? They are more qualified to tell you about this stuff.

I'm just told to think of my medicine as a "supplement" and that it is fine.

I would slowly ween myself off the adderall (and send it my way, srs).
Then I would start taking ginko biloba, as well as finding a hobby that will occupy your time. It sounds counter productive to actually add MORE shit into your already distracted life. But find something that actually holds your interest, and time will fly by.

I find meditation actually makes it harder for me to be distracted also. Because I'm not longer focusing on shit around me. And just on myself. But not everyone can do it successfully. Practice makes perfect.

Also, heard kratom helps a ton with mental shit. Never tried it myself though. So don't quote me.

I'll look into that.

Well if you don't want to rely on it then you should start by cutting down on your usage. Four times the prescribed amount probably isn't good.

I pretty much need it to function/

No idea why you don't like adderall though. I guess, it's different when it actually "works right" for what it's prescribed for. Wish I could get my hands on some here. Kudos on you for wanting to stop it though.

I don't like depending on stuff.

I know the feeling man. I guess that's the difference with "needing" it for ADHD and "wanting" it for recreational use.

A way to describe it is smoking the same amount, type and strain of weed every day; you get tired of it then you will feel weird as hell when you just randomly don't do that for a day
