    Absolutely. The only way I ever remember to take my ADHD meds is by them working as intended.

    Turns out that being able to more or less function in a society designed for neurotypicals IS kinda addictive!

      I found the the health app in iOS has a pill reminder you can setup. It will pop a reminder to take your pills at the right time and stay on your Lock Screen until you long press it and tap mark as taken. It’s pretty neat. It also keeps a history of all the meds you took. You can also use times reminders for other repetitive tasks (I have brushing g teeth in the morning, taking out trash and starting the dishwasher setup) it’s pretty neat.

        I’m on android but have apps that remind me of most of the things I need to remember, including meds, helping me get places without getting hopelessly lost, play audiobooks or podcasts so all the traffic and people noise I can’t otherwise filter out doesn’t completely drain me and much more.

        It’s such an enormous help, but without the meds, I wouldn’t have the mental energy and focus to do 95% of it even WITH the app health. I’m so glad that my Strattera is relatively easy to get and refill (as long as I remember to renew the prescription in an app after I run out of refills) here in Denmark!
