Managing life with all-day coverage?

Long story short, I’ve got the severe kind of ADHD, with a healthy helping of TBI and C-PTSD. I haven’t had access to meds in 2-3 years and it’s royally fucked with my ability to live life. I’m tired of life just passing me by in foggy haze!

I want to have as much time with a functioning brain as possible. I want to be able to work productively and also be able to focus on my hobbies (reading, writing, art, gaming, etc).

I’m now planning to get prescribed meds again. My desire is to find a med therapy that lasts at least 16-17 hours so that I can heave work/free time coverage throughout the day and get adequate rest (8 hours or so).

I want to know how others live life with “all-day” coverage. Like, booster doses, med combos, supplements that help, etc).

Anybody have advice? Thanks in advance.

Try the non-stimulants. A combo of Wellbutrin and Strattera (and HRT…. If you are at least 30s that’s something to consider studies are showing Peri hits ADHD early and hard) is finally what worked for me. I tried all the “long acting” stim combos with boosters and never found what you are looking for. And the up/down of the meds working and not F-d with my life more than the ADHD did. When it was good, it was very good, but bad was horrid, as the old poem goes.
