I have mild ADHD, which while not usually an issue in clinical practise, made getting through med school very hard until I was prescribed stimulants. Unsurprisingly it’s designed for people who are both highly intelligent as well as conscientious.
Ritalin, which is the only good stim available here, is almost intolerable for me even at the lowest available doses and longer acting formulations. It causes severe palpitations and anxiety, and I feel like absolute shit when it starts to wear off.
I tried a bunch of stuff to help, including things I’m embarrassed to admit, but I suffered for years until the serendipitous discovery that Earl Grey helped immensely. After consideration, I tried green tea and found it helped too, and now I’m confident that it’s the l-theanine that’s doing the heavy lifting, as normal tea or coffee only make things worse.
It’s made my life so much more bearable, and I strongly endorse it to anyone who has a need for being less anxious or happens to be on stimulants.
