Looking for ADHD Medication Recommendations

I'm looking to get back on medication to help with my ADHD. I've been unmedicated for years now, just utilizing therapy and coping mechanisms. But, it's gotten to the point where I feel like I don't have control. (adhd paralysis is the main bother rn) I've had bad experiences with Adderall. Are there any medications that you recommend/ have had good experience with?

Ritalin is a really good common one that works well with a lot of people because of it's flexibility. You should definitely look into it

thank you! I'll talk to my doctor, I know starting to find a new medication/ dosage is a journey but I appreciate having somewhere to start!

I take Vyvanse and it works best for me! And I don't get irritable like I do in Adderall.
