A little background info:
I have ADHD-Pi pretty bad and I use adderall to help me manage the symptoms a little better, although I take it differently than most people. Instead of everyday, I use it twice a week. It doesn't matter what day, but only twice. It seems to be more effective and I don't seem to get all "zombied out" and antisocial. In addition to adderall I also take klonopin on an as needed basis, but I do use it to help with adderall insomnia (again, probably not the healthiest choice, but its the only thing iv'e found that works) so usually once or twice a week. In between days I take adderall, I have a stack that helps replenish what adderall uses up as well as a few supplements that i believe help with damage prevention. So far this treatment has been pretty effective.
Anyways ever since winter has started I've noticed that I feel much better after I've gone tanning. Now I know tanning itself is harmful to the body and is something i do fairly moderately, but its been a pretty big improvement for me. It seems to be really anxiolytic, especially when i take adderall. I do live in a mountain climate and that probably has something to do with it.
I usually have a harder time with depression in the winter time so I try to do anything I can to help it.
Can anyone thing of a explanation or a safer alternative for this?
