Long-term ADHD meds: has anyone stopped?
Hey everyone 🔥 I’ve got a question for those of you who have ADHD and take medication to get through your day. I’m wondering if any of you were on medication for a long time and, after trying a few things, decided to stop taking it completely. About two weeks ago, I did a little test and stopped taking my meds for around 8–10 days. With some good habits and a few tricks, I was still able to get through my daily to-do lists pretty well. The only reason I started taking them again was for my overall well-being. When I’m on my medication, I have less mental chaos and less internal noise. I’m asking because I’m in a bit of a dilemma. I’m tired of the feeling the medication gives me, but at the same time it really helps. Without it, I’m just as productive—sometimes even more. I’m curious to hear from anyone who relates to this. THANKS ! 🥸🔥

@Katherine Lizardo Hey hey, hi. Thanks for taking the time to explain all that. It’s interesting to see that you use medication as a tool, when you really need to perform or control your symptoms as much as possible. That inspires me a lot. I’ve been having a lot of difficulty with my medication lately. I’ve tried several different molecules (here in Canada everything is covered by insurance, so I can basically try the whole menu). And I did find the one that works well for me. But I’m a former addict, from about 10–15 years ago, and the effect can sometimes be really captivating. It scares me. There have been times where I doubled my dose to be even more focused and on top of things, and it always ends badly. But I do have some tricks to keep myself under control, for sure. And when I took a break from the medication, I was still pretty productive, but I felt really bad inside. Anyway, thank you so much for sharing.
How to Avoid ADHD Burnout & Procrastination
A new member, @Ced Digital, just made a very heart-felt request for help around ADHD burnout and procrastination. Seeing as this is something that many of us struggle with, I went into great detail around burnout, procrastination, and the two key motivators for getting yourself to do something if you have ADHD. You can check out the video below, where I discuss: 1. The two major ways ADHD brains find motivation for tackling tasks 2. How shame leads to burnout (and how to avoid it) 3. Why your business might feel like a chore and be difficult to execute on 4. And a bit more - all in 12 minutes! Oh, and just for funsies, I had ChatGPT fact-check me on this video so I wasn't misleading anyone. Here's what it had to say, if you're curious. (TLDR; it is all factually correct, if some bits are a little oversimplified) BTW, these are the kinds of things we help our clients with in the Focus Founders Accelerator. If you are an ADHD entrepreneur who would like help healing your nervous system, building systems that work with your brain, understanding why burnout happens, and how to build a business that aligns with your joys and feels REALLY GOOD to build, then book a call with Rex to discuss joining. You'll get to join many amazing souls like @Amber Kay, @Brian Diep, @Rainbow Bird de Soliris, @G. S., @Ori Apkon, @Mahedi Kaiser, @Sebastian Schroeder, and more! I'd love to hear from you - does this video resonate? Would you like to see more content like this? How do YOU experience and handle burnout/procrastination? Drop dem comments baybeeeeeee

Wow! @Bill Widmer Thank you a thousand times again. You’re an incredible person, I definitely want you in my life hahaha. Thank you for taking the time to care for me and for truly understanding my problem. You helped me realize some really big things. I’m happy that this allowed you to help even more people who are going through the same thing as me. Thank you again.

@Bill Widmer Haha yeah, it’s pretty simple. I’m looking for the miracle solution that will finally make my brain understand how to start a task and get past my mental block. It’s really not easy. I’m trying to find the thing that will help me actually begin. THE THING.

Most productivity tools ask you to "push through." But if you have ADHD, "pushing" usually just leads to paralysis. I realized that being stuck usually comes in three flavors. So I built Decision Barista—an AI companion that doesn't judge you; it just adjusts to your energy level. The Menu (Chef's Choice): 🍵 Matcha Mode: You are frozen/anxious. We take small, compassionate steps. ☕ Espresso Mode: You are overthinking. We set a ruthlessly short timer. 🫐 Berry Mode: You are bored. We gamify the task to hack your dopamine. The Honor Bar (The Threshold): Standard marketing says I should force you to give me your email to see this. I refuse. If you are overwhelmed, you don't need a funnel. You need relief. - No Signup. - No Email. - Just the tool. 👉 Click the link to enter the Honor Bar. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N1jVQ--GxBS4OnZFHBrV5SxX2DC5ybwjjmVW4kh9Y_Q/edit?usp=sharing Let's check the community pulse: Which flavor do you need this morning? Drop a 🍵, ☕, or 🫐 below. THANKS @Rex Loyer and @Bill Widmer for all your amazing support and feedback! P.S. - I'm in meetings most of today but will check back this evening to see how it's landing.

TDAH Problems
Hi everyone! I’m new here! Finally, a community for ADHD people around the world. I’ve read a lot of your posts, and it really made me want to open up too. I have ADHD, predominantly inattentive type, and it’s really difficult. I’m 33 years old and I’m medicated. Here’s my problem: I really struggle to take action. I have a lot of ambition and talent, but every single day it’s incredibly hard just to start doing what I know I need to do. I’m an entrepreneur and I run a small funnel-building design business. And honestly, it’s complex just to follow my own system. I procrastinate a lot, I’m anxious, and I struggle to take action. Sometimes I get a boost of focus and end up cleaning or doing other things, but never the right things. I genuinely struggle with this. Even with medication, it doesn’t really change anything… yes, I feel more intense focus, but I still have trouble taking action. It’s like my brain only wants to work when I’m in danger, for example when there are client deadlines and pressure. Does anyone experience the same thing and can guide me? It would be amazing to hear from other people with ADHD who are trying to run their own business and have been through the same thing. Otherwise, I wish you all a great day 😊

@Bill Widmer Now the question I have in my mind, after reflecting on your video feedback, is this: despite my blockage when it comes to starting the things I need to do (sorry, I’m still saying it that way so we understand each other), how can I break that blockage and actually DO what I have to do? I understand that I can set timers and allow myself breaks, but how do I start taking action when it’s necessary? It’s like I’m paralyzed, and despite my good intentions, nothing moves.
