What Do I Do if Medication Does Not Help with My ADHD?
By Angel Merchan
You are not alone
There are many people in the world living with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD is characterized by difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, staying still, impulsiveness, being talkative, and struggling with organization. Although many people with ADHD may feel overwhelmed by their day-to-day struggles, there are several ways to mitigate these symptoms. In general, people are familiar with the fact that those who are diagnosed with ADHD will be prescribed medication to help with things like focus and concentration. While medication can play an important role, it is not only for treatment.
Medication is not the only Solution
Since everyone’s body chemistry differs, no two people will react to the same medication identically. While there are many people that benefit from ADHD medications, some people feel no improvement. It can be challenging to be a part of the group who experience symptoms of ADHD, and who have tried medication but failed to see results.
Adjunct Therapy Options
Thankfully, there are other methods for treating ADHD when medication does not achieve desirable outcomes. According to research, there are a few things people suffering from ADHD can do to ease their symptoms. You can leverage the power of sleep, exercise, meditation, consuming healthy fats (Omega-3), engaging in flow state activities like playing an instrument, and creating structured routines.
