Was same teens and early 20s. Daytime Has never gone well for me.

I would use full black out blankets, ear plugs and noise canceling headphones with video game music.

Pair programmer was wonderful for me, as it kept me on task and I didn’t give into distractions as easily.

Later diagnosed as ADHD. Medication made a massive quality of life. Up until my body decided that stimulants are invaders and my immune system went bonkers.

Have you found anything that gets close to it?? I have quite bad gerd and so taking any medication is a quick way to end up on the toilet but I would love to be able to focus!


I have pretty bad acid reflux and my stomach often would get very acidic by the end of day. (Even if I ate nothing)

Fruit and yogurt helps me a lot.

I think it's because fruit doesn't digest primarily in the stomach, so it moves the pills faster into my intestines.

Not a doctor.


Atomoxetine (strattera) is a non-stimulant ADHD medication that might be tolerated better. Additionally, I noticed that stimulants don't upset my stomach nearly as much if you take it with a substantial meal.
