Is there any way to manage symptoms without medication? Both of my brothers have ADHD and my therapist suspects that I do, too. However, I have a history of abusing adderall and being addicted to it. I don't want to ever take a prescription stimulant again and no doctor would prescribe me one anyway because of my history.

Cannabis helps me. But I guess that's a form of "medication" (though not with the same mechanisms of addiction as amphetamines, I don't think).

Well, I guess that depends on how you define "help." It usually doesn't do anything for my poor executive functioning, but it does help with the anxiety that usually comes with it.
