Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Many people equate ADD/ADHD treatment with medication. But it’s important to understand that medication for ADD/ADHD doesn’t work for everyone, and even when it does work, it won’t solve all problems or completely eliminate symptoms.
In fact, while medication for ADD/ADHD often improves attention and concentration, it typically does very little to help symptoms of disorganization, poor time management, forgetfulness, and procrastination—the very issues that cause the most problems for many adults with ADD/ADHD.
I would suggest you to add these to your current medication.
1. Exercise regularly
2. Have a regular sleep schedule, avoid caffeine before sleep time.
3. Meditation and yoga
4. Eat three meals and avoid snacks frequently.
You need to increase protein, fish if possible . Plenty of fruits and vegetables should be included daily in your diet.
Following all these plus addwise will help you better.
Regards
Dr Arun
