Why I don't take ADHD meds anymore

...and what I do instead for a 'gentle' energy boost

I'm not gaslighting myself into Military Circuits or 'owt, and I won't do that to you either! High doses of ADHD meds, which I took to help myself focus, boost productivity and be a good worker bee, felt like a drill sergeant in my brain, so I said no and did this instead.

Ever get the sense that your brain's a boot camp? That was me on high doses of ADHD medication—a drill sergeant yelling in my head, turning concentration into a battle zone. So, I said no to that war and went another route.

I experimented with something old, earthy, and unexpectedly potent: ceremonial-grade Cacao. It's not chocolate; it's a plant medicine with thousands of years of history of heart-opening rituals and mood-lifting magic, and I’ll tell you how it’s better..

Disclaimer: I know ADHD meds work well for people, and this is in no way medical or therapeutic advice. You should always check-in with your GP about your specific circumstances and, of course, do your research.
