No judgement? Do you use strategies or meds or both? I'm curious.

For me both. But without my meds I'm pretty useless.

Meds and lists gang checking in.

Started Trintellix a couple months ago and has been working pretty well with no noted side effects, which is nice.

To clarify, are you using vortioxetine (Brintellix) for what exactly? Because it's not an ADHD medication.

Edit: I'm also asking because I'm taking it as well, and I was curious about your experience.

Depression is what I was prescribed to it for. It is working well to manage that, which makes it easier for me to better tackle the ADHD.

I'm nearing the end of my first month on Wellbutrin. I have pretty bad dopamine deficiency that leads to executive disfunction, depression and anxiety. So far the last few weeks have been great on it.
