throwaway_anonon Ask HN: Help, How to deal with severe ADHD as a programmer?

UPDATE: I went for medication again and decreased the dosage from 30 mg to 20 mg and I feel the possibility of my life turning around. I am more productive. Thanks for the advice.

I was prescribed 10 mg in the beginning but I requested the doc to increase it to 30 mg. I thought higher dose helps. Then the side effects started showing. I will ask for lower dosage.

I have non existent concept of time, so this might help.

Can you tell me about your individual case. Does running help you if you don't use strattera?
