Reply to comment by Ketosheep in Study finds brain changes associated with ADHD remission. As the brains of those with ADHD mature, some individuals may repetitively engage in strategies that compensate for symptoms. These repetitive behaviors may result in the brain changes seen in those who went into remission. by Wagamaga

Your hyper focus is still there, but you need to force yourself consciously into it. So overall you tend to hyper focus less, but on things you actually want. I’m seeing some new and shiny piece of rabbit hole to explore, but now instead of going balls deep without second thought, I have yes/no prompt basically. Getting my pills was so to speak a full 180 turn. Maybe even 540 degree turn. When stressful event arises, be it home or work, I just focus on it as usual and see it finished perfectly. Start with lowest dose and see how you fare. Good luck.

Thank you, I think I am mostly afraid of the unknown, and I can’t even imagine what you are describing. But so long as I don’t become as slow on emergencies as other people I think it should be fine.

Im sure others have mentioned it but just chiming in with my experiences. Meds will give you the ability to focus and regulate yourself but you still have to actually do it, and i specifically mean scheduling and adhering to a food plan. You need to eat, and drink water and medications like Adderal/concerta/vyvanse will decrease your appetite and potentially thirst. Sometimes fasting is good, this is not one of those times. I seriously cannot stress this enough for medical reasons you should go into it mindful of the side effects and how it can cause damage without strict and proper diet.
