    This kind of thing is why my wife is so set against even trying medication for her ADHD, she is quite worried about side-effects!

      She should try my chicken-method, then: Take half a minimum dose, e. g. 5g lisdexamfetamine, if it works go to something like 10 or 15.

      Does she get bad side effects from coffee? If yes, stims really might not be for her.

        Thanks, she is a big coffee drinker in the morning but has to completely cut off stimulants around noon or it will mess with her sleep. But, so far she refuses the idea of even trying medication because she is worried about side effects.
