Hi, I’m new to lemmy and this is my first post. I’ve been diagnosed with adhd for a while now and I’m on medication. I’ve always had issues with memory and was wondering if this could have something to do with my ADHD, as taking the meds seems to help and it’s only with small, simple things like what I did today or had for breakfast, sometimes even things I just saw or did seconds ago.
I can’t even remember if I took my meds on some days lol. I need reminders, tasks, alarms and calendar events for everything, or I can’t function.
Yes. I do this too, and yet I still forget to do stuff.
Oh, I do too. I keep closing the alarms going “I’ll do it in a min”, or just snoozing them until they stop.
I literally took a small dose of meds to work because as soon as I am on the road (and I plan my commute very tight with small room for error), I notice that I did not do something. And then I am a good 2 kilometres away from home.
That’s why I took Concerta for a while. Just one pill a day. And I numbered the capsules on the strips so I could just check the date.
I take Vyvanse once a day too (plus other stuff, but all once a day at the same time), I prepare everything in a pill box that I keep at my computer desk, which is the one place I go to every single day around the time I take them, but I still manage to forget lol
