Answer1 - I have ADHD, anxiety, sensory processing disorder. I take NO medications since diagnosis, have managed with help from a psychologist. In the last year, a new therapist prescribed me Alpha Stim, which I ended up buying, for anxiety, but also works for insomnia and depression.

Answer2 - When I was diagnosed in college for ADHD by a psychiatrist, I was given Ritalin. This is standard practice if there are not other solutions you are trying. The idea is to try different medications until something works consistently.

Why do I not take medications? My psychologist helped me understand the root cause of my anxiety, or thinking of the future. My mom also has anxiety and depression. Knowing my triggers helped me self-manage until I could not longer manage, chose an alt path. I hate medications in general, I believe in fighting to overcome, vs easy way out. Its take 35 yrs of fighting. You have to choose your path.
