MODERATORS
Have you tried a low dose of vyvanse? That has the absolute lowest side effects per unit dose, because it truly is slowly activated in your bloodstream to adderall. All other meds spike after taking them and then fade, so you’ll always have side effects on the peaks. Also, buspirone works better to take the edge off than a lot of things but you gotta go like 15mg or more a couple of times a day. There really isn’t evidence for effective behavioral approaches. It’s a disease that affects us in the microseconds before we blurt something out or take a stupid risk, there is no opportunity for your cognitive brain to rethink things without a med.
