LOTS of exercise along with the meds helped me. No super processed foods, junk foods, etc. without the exercise and meds the only thing that helped was 3:1 keto. The first thing I did in the morning was run 3k and it was the last thing I did before bed. If I was starting to feel worn out I’d do bodyweight workouts at night. I was doing yoga in the middle of the day. I was also on a high-ish dose of Concerta. Only time I was functional.

I also have ADHD, I was formally diagnosed 25 years ago but unfortunately it went untreated for almost 10 years. At the time ADD/ADHD was not quite understood/researched so my parents decided that no treatment was the best option out of the short list of treatments. Anyway being on meds for me has worked wonders as well as staying as active as you can physically and mentally. I also try to stick to a routine and write things down. Have your doctors suggested any other treatment options? I hope you find what works for you asap.

Have you tried/thought of a psychiatric hospital? I know it sounds really scary, but I started about 1,5 months ago for my autism, but ADHD and ADD are also part of the groups there. I also have (had?) depression, but I am genuinly enjoying being there. Because the focus in our department is on things like ASD and ADHD, they're very (VERY) flexible with everything, there are also people who come just during the day. But I honestly can't explain how much I like being there, everything is so comfortable and everyone is equal! It makes the relationship between us patients and the therapists, nurses, psychologists... very natural, and not as if we're teacher-student or something :)

I recently heard about a DNA test which tests your compatibility with different medicines. Maybe look into that? Hope it helps :)

Run run run...and no, walking won't do it. Amphetamines work but are not good for your heart and didn't work as much as running. I had a world renowned adhd specialist tell me that running is the only way...I didn't listen and only started after a breakup... it changed my life! FYI, it takes a couple months of running to feel the change, so don't give up!
