I’ve tried medication, but unfortunately everything I tried had the side effect of pushing up my heartbeat to unhealthy levels, or causing anxiety issues. So currently unmedicated, although I miss the focus and motivation to get things done they gave me, the side-effects weren’t worth it.
I try using todo-lists. But having been diagnosed at 36 it’s so hard to break bad habits, especially during work, so I still often have days where I just jump between tasks. I’ve learned to accept that will happen and try to pay more attention to my to-do list again. Not getting frustrated helps a lot.
I’ve also taken up piano lessons, having to focus on playing a piece of music has improved my concentration quite a bit.
Thanks for the suggestion. 👍🏻 It was bupropion that gave me those issues, in the end it didn’t really do enough for my symptoms to warrant that kind of experimentation. For now I’ll just try to cope as best as I can.

Oh that sucks. Try CBD for the Axiety. I’m NOT a doctor! LOL
