I accidentally replied to the comment directly above this, then deleted it. Yup, I have ADHD. Anyways, here is what I said above:
Just commenting on your ways to cope with ADHD. I hate my Adderall, makes me feel like a robot and I get crabby at people for trying to be nice or social with me. I think meditation is an excellent choice. As far as alarms go, my Google calendar is decked out with all of my important deadlines with alarms set to go off. My real preference for treating my ADHD is marijuana. If I smoke just enough of a strong sativa, it helps me level off and allows me to actually focus on one thing. Problem with this is that I have a very very high tolerance, so I don't get very loopy or silly from smoking a few hits. A lot of people get absolutely silly from a little marijuana though, so I could see this method being awful for some people. Figured I'd put in my 2 cents.
Background: my family is rampant with learning disabilities and I have been prescribed to take approx 70mg of amphetamine daily for the last 10 years. Gf is a psychologist and says I have the worst ADHD she has ever seen.
Edit: in true ADHD fashion, I was so absorbed in this thread that I am now late for a med check up at my Dr office for my Adderall.
Don't know if you've tried it but I take Adderall XR. It's a slow release so it works through the day and because only a little bit it entering your system at a time, you don't feel like as much of a robot. I take 20 mg every day except for weekends so that my tolerance stays low and I also get a good burst of productivity at work at the start of the week. I've been on this kind of regimen for two years and it's helped me out a lot. Might be something to talk to your doctor about. In Canada at least, it would be a lot cheaper for me than smoking that much pot haha.
