Concentration pills

I have a question a very dumb and idk if it’s even a good idea to ask BUT

I wanna improve my concentration i don’t have adhd and most doctors have pointed out ADHD meds made all my symptoms INCLUDING concentration worse

I wonder if there’s a med or something to help make me a bit smarter

L-theanine and caffeine together. That combo has research behind it.

I wish I could not go completely insane off of ADHD meds :weary_face:

A healthy amount of caffeine and a good diet i think. There are some other ways, rather sketchy ways but i don’t want to be the one who suggests things that aren’t ethical

This I agree with, it’s backed by studies too for l theanine. caffeine improves alertness, i don’t think it does anything for concentration

Dual n back?

I struggled with being able to focus for years. I couldn’t even watch movies. It was very difficult to be able to watch a whole movie due to negs.

Now it’s better.

You can try green tea LEAVES, boil and EAT the LEAVES as well to maximise l theanine intake from a natural source.

i searched that it’s bitter like crazy but there’s not much alternative other than spending on the supplement l theanine which takes more energy, money and time to process it

So in my case, I am planning to eat 300 mg l theanine supplement in powder form each time in the evening then drink 4 cups of green tea ,8 grams of green tea leaves in the morning

Going to clean eating helped my concentration out a lot. More energy and focus when I’m avoiding processed foods.

Same problem here. ADHD meds changed my life and helped me focus so well. Felt an interest in things that I never had before. Then, of course, I end up going psychotic on them :pensive_face:. Unlucky.

I’ve talked to docs about options. Non-stimulant attention meds apparently don’t have much efficacy for people with sz and SZA.

Real shame. Just how the cookie crumbles sometimes.
