I guess I have some reading to do tomorrow! Which is also a great reminder that I should update my own posts with all my current techniques of managing with ADHD.

if you are on Android, you may use Google Tasks or Samsung Reminder as a simple and good enough Todo app.

Google Tasks has the advantage of allowing you to manage your Todo list through its web interface, while Samsung Reminder is a mobile app only.

Does this also work in the opposite direction?

For reasons of personal history, stimulant medications like Adderall are a hard no for me. I am curious, though, about non-stimulant options like atomoxetine, if anyone has views.

Stimulants are a front line defense because they pretty reliably treat the symptoms in just about everyone. There are many other medications that _can_ help with symptoms, but their effectiveness is largely dependent on your body chemistry. It can take trialing several drugs to find one that works best with you.

Methylphenidate was a no-go for me too, was emotionally unstable and burnt out at the end of the day. However, this is my second month on atomoxetine and so far, I have only words of praise. There are one or two months to go for full effectiveness but I am satisfied so far. Focus is better, my mind is much more quieter, I've been able to kick some dopamine seeking behaviors and am working on new habits. I really feel positive and ready for change in life -- speaking this as an anxiety ridden person for more than ten years. The only negative is that it slightly increases heart rate, but I think this is supposed to go away too. I'd note that I am on some supplements as well and beforehand I did a simplistic dna check to see my methylation/detox profile (wanted to see why methylphenidate was a no-go).

Having a ton of apps is not the solution to managing ADHD.

I searched the article for "meat" and "carnivore". Zero mentions. First paragraph admits that this is a biochemistry issue and then immediately jumps to the conclusion that MEDICATION is needed.

Insane.

Eat a proper human diet, and your ADHD symptoms will mostly go away.
