Something you can try is magnesium supplements. Someone mentioned it to me so I’ve been doing it. It’s not as much as an ADHD medication I’m sure but it has helped. I’ve tried 3 different meds and nothing has stuck. Magnesium is helping with memory, focus and a small boost to ED. I buy mine off the shelf at target.
I take ZMA, is that the same type/quantity of magnesium? If nothing else it helps me sleep.
I don’t know anything about ZMA. Quick search says it has 450mg of magnesium in it? The one I take is 250mg.
What magnesium do you take?
The target brand one.
