* cutting processed sugar: worked wonders, highly recommend * cutting general sugar (eg fruit): depression * cutting carbs: also depression * various oil suppliments: no change * CBD oil: less manic, no help with concentration, too expensive for the cost/benefit to be worth it

one other "diet" change - getting 8-9 hours of sleep a day so I can cut my caffeine intake to a cup of black tea in the morning and maybe one in the afternoon if I'm having a bad day. I cannot overstate how good sleeping properly is. It does mean I need to be super careful with the meds so they're out of my body by the time I'm in bed, but a good night's sleep and some medical grade stimulants with a nice cup of tea is the best way I've found to have a productive day.

>cutting carbs: also depression Did anybody give you tips on this? the depression generally lifts after 2 months. For most people it's around 2 weeks, but for stubborn cases it may take upto 2 month especially for women. Anyway, I'm sure you are fed up hearing advise/tips, I'll leave it at that. If you think I may have something to offer (and I think I do) email me. Ps: I'm fully cognizant that every person has their favorite diet/remedy, and I'm just another delusional individual who thinks I've (partially) figured it out).

  I dunno if anyone's ever told you this, but one of the symptoms of ADHD is executive dysfunction which causes extreme difficulty in dealing with deferred rewards, especially if discomfort is involved.

    Then I'd say that there is very little hope. The discomfort can be extreme when one gives up carbs to a point where one could could be bed ridden for a few days. The addictive characteristics of carbs resemble narcotic drugs.
