You have to remember to fill it.
That’s easy: go get pills - it’s empty - I’ve just remembered to refill it.
I always take my pills at the same time I put on deodorant. It means I can quickly check if I took it.
This is such a useful tip honestly. Combining it with another routine that’s easy to check would be a lot more helpful than pill organisers for a lot of people
Coworkers are puzzled why you are sometimes a smelly, grumpy mess. This is probably how daily shower makes it into “productivity advice”.
This sounds like a person that learned methods to manage their ADHD before trying meds. If its not habitual its bound to be forgotten. Also I don’t wear deodorant very often.
I’m not sure if I should be flattered or insulted.
Everybody learns some methods before trying meds, it’s a practice I started a few weeks after I started taking meds.
At the very least it doubles your chance of remembering. Connect them with a rubber band if you have to.
This is going to be wilder than I thought. 12 hours in, still legs shaking and eyes wide open. I even made a fruit and raw veggie plate instead of binge eating candy at night, omg!
I feel like a raver with a plate of apple slices.
Plus side: Still killing it with the todos.

I TRIED THAT! GUESS WHAT? I KEPT FORGETTING TO CHECK STUFF OFF!
Have you tried being more organized?
I accidentally took 4 times the amount of dexamphetamine once because I thought the pills were 2,5mg instead of 10mg. At school the teacher complimented me saying he had never seen me as invested in the lesson as I was…
“Thank you”, I said as I adjusted the position of the eraser a fifth time since she started talking.
Vyvance worked perfectly for me for a week. Doc wanted to just raise the dose but I was so creeped out by how fast I acclimated I switched. Concerta worked and I didn’t acclimate to it, but now I just feel the doom all the time.
Sigh
I’m on generic Vyvanse and have had a similar experience to you. I went up to 40mg but didn’t notice that much of a difference to the 20mg, so I asked to go back down. We added a regular short acting Adderall 5mg booster to go along with the 20s. That combo seems to work relatively well for me, but I think the long-acting Concerta + 5mg booster was the best fit in relatively recent meds history. I switched about 2 years ago to Vyvanse because it was very hard to find the correct Concerta ER dose in stock consistently at my pharmacy .
