If anyone who is adhd and takes medication - (and happens to read this) - if you don't mind sharing; let me know what you think of it. I'm particularly wondering about clearing off brain fog at work.

Running helps, always. I still get that feeling of a lift which happens as I turn the corner on the street back toward the house, and it lasts for a couple of hours more or less. Thank you @AvidFan

Strength to you. You do this. I have been neglecting exercise

That's kind of you to say. I hope you can make a start, if it's something you want to do. I often have to re-start, and I find it's always hard but a reliable friend if that makes sense.

. It's off topic but I have to state I very much do not want to interact with bots, AI, and the like. Not here, not anywhere, not at all.

I did th damn phone call. It's a preliminary step and may lead nowhere. Even so, taking action is better than not and I need to have some control over wrapping this whole mess up and being able to move forward. ffs It was triggering but I think I'm going to stay grounded since I knew in advance the topics I'd be talking about.

I can't speak about this subject in relation to adhd medication, but in Chinese herbal medicine there is an herb called grass leaf sweet flag, ("she chang pu" in Chinese) that is often used to treat brain fog. I could say more about this if you're interested but it's ok if you're not.

Next time I'm in a shop that sells herbs and stuff, I'll ask about that @may71. What are the side effects? I have a bunch of food allergies so I have to be very careful.

I think it's usually combined with other herbs rather than taken alone.

I think most Chinese herbs, when correctly prescribed, have few or no side effects. I don't know enough about this herb in particular to say more than that.

Okay. I remember that about 10 yeasr ago I tried taking something which was supposed to be a mildly stimulating Chinese herb, and it made my heartbeat accelerate to scary fast. So there's some trepidation due to my (very limited) experience.

It was probably ephedra, though possibly something else.

Were you actually prescribed this by an herbalist? While correctly prescribed Chinese herbs usually have few or no side effects, non-prescribed or poorly prescribed herbs can sometimes cause trouble, with ephedra being one of the most troublesome.

A professional herbalist will ask you a series of questions to rule out contraindications.
