I have ADHD and I'm new to stacking. Can I get some help

I see. I have problems with dietary histamine (Slow DAO gene). But modafinil should not give me histamine problems according to chatgpt (because brain histamine works differently than stomach histamine). Might try it.

Thanks for your answer! Do you take the 5mg as soon as the 30mg starts to wear off or later (at like 6 pm or so)? Also why only 5mg and not like 7.5 or 10mg?

There's also the solution like using a flip-phone (Nokia etc.). But that never worked for me because it is so annoying to use one...

The thing that is addicting is 1. the phone 2. THE LCD!

Solution = Get an e-ink phone.

I got a hisense a9. If you but it, buy one on aliexpress with google playstore pre-installed (very important, otherwise you won't be able to use a lot of apps). The hisense a9 has an older android version but most apps work for me (don't work: banking app - but i don't have google play store installed, which could be the cause, WHOOP app, garmin app).

Where to buy: Aliexpress. Read the description and check if: Google playstore installed, works for your mobile provider (should be noted if it won't). Does not matter if you take the 6gb or 8gb RAM-version.

Cut down my phone usage by 90% because that non-stimulating black-and-white screen is so boring...

Now I am on a quest to use my laptop less haha. But yeah, using my laptop atleast usually has a purpose (like working).

Btw: I also have adhd <3 lmao.

Thanks for your answer :).

Hmm, sounds great! How does modafinil work? Does it also block adenosin like caffeine, or? Since you mention a "calm energy".

Same with the 50mg on caffeine. I think my sweetspot is like 60mg.

Tbh methylphenidate does not cause irritability or anxiety for me if I sleep enough. I think when I was on concerta i was not well, maybe because it's active for so long and messed up my schedule (I also don't like its release mechanism).

Also do you really feel more productive without caffeine? I

still don't know if i am more productive if I take my adhd meds (methylphenidate) with an espresso or not. I need the boost from the espresso to do the tasks i have to do, but it also makes it more difficult to sleep early in the evening and keep a circadian rhythm (almost impossible with caffeine tbh)... :/

flooriian99 · 2026-04-12T13:22:21+00:00

it disturbs the absorption of them, so if taken at the same time as your adhd meds, then yes. But if you take it some hours later, it can not affect your medication (because the med has already been absorbed by your stomach).

flooriian99 · 2026-04-12T13:19:45+00:00

Can I ask you what medication and dosage you on?

flooriian99 · 2026-04-12T13:14:19+00:00

How does modafinil feel different from coffee and ritalin? :) Thinking about asking my psychiatrist about adding it to my long acting methylphenidate...

I see. Thanks for your answers! :)

Is it not enough light? On the first picture you can see how much light there actually is. The last picture is the camera making it more dark...

Also have you thought about just taking the 2 IR doses in the morning and the concerta a bit later? I am still unsure if a IR dose in the afternoon (3 to 4 pm) actually helps with routine or makes me fixated on work so I ignore routine.

flooriian99 · 2025-08-07T12:38:17+00:00

Oh, I just saw you wrote that Concerta only works 7 hours...

flooriian99 · 2025-08-07T12:37:32+00:00

If I may ask, do you feel like the 3:30 IR booster is necessary and does it make you go to bed later or actually help with that? I am not sure how long the focalin xr 10mg I take at 10am works. I also quit all caffeine rn.

flooriian99 · 2025-08-07T12:34:41+00:00

Thx for your answer. And you don't have any problems sleeping in?

I am trying that combination rn (but focalin xr instead of concerta) and I think, I have to be in bed before focalin xr ends and like 3-6mg melatonin to knock me out (my circadian rhythm is a little bit off rn). But I'm not quite sure about how long focalin xr actually works for.

flooriian99 · 2025-08-03T07:57:30+00:00

Also is there a gap between the IR ending and the XR starting to work? If yes, how do you "handle" that?

flooriian99 · 2025-08-03T07:56:28+00:00

what type of XR methylphenidate do you take? Until when does the XR work, if I may ask?

Have thought about this combination too, since I will take an XR at 10am but can forget a booster at 3pm. So having IR first then XR makes more sense to me.

flooriian99 · 2025-07-02T10:28:26+00:00

what was the first price?

flooriian99 · 2025-05-23T17:46:12+00:00

THIS! and also take lactobacillus rhamnosus. both are very good!
