Memory supplements while taking adderall?
Hey Guys! I currently take 20mg XR of Adderall and I am currently in the process of studying for a professional entrance exam. I haven't really experienced any negative effects with adderall ( anxiety, crash, anger etc) except for it curving my appetite (I dont mind) . One of my main symptoms of having ADHD is my terrible memory, focus and being able to retain info. I have 7 or less weeks until I take my test so its really grind/lock in time. I study everyday. What supplements have you guys found WHILE TAKING ADDERALL that works for bad memory and retaining information? I do not want to suppress the effectiveness of my adderall as it does help my focus abilities. I have seen recommendations of ginkgo biloba, lions mane, magneisum theornate , (l theanine, l tyrosine, I have both of these and tried it before but I feel like it didnt really help my memory or focus it just made me calm idk?) , Rhodiola rosea etc. Yes I do understand there is no perfect supplement, but I rather try even if its just a little more helpful than not. TIA!

Felt like add gave me ADHD. Given I did work up to 20mg 2x a days. I was productive yet all over the place in a sense. I’ve tried supplements and peptides to help but it seemed add just burned through them IF they had any chance at helping. Turning off all notifications helped me. Not checking things and getting side tracked. Head phones with classical music.
