Image not quite for ADHPeeps but I feel this sort of thing happens regularly for us as well.

I'm a heavy tea drinker. When I got diagnosed with ADD at 40 I realized I was probably (lol) self-medicating with the copious amounts of tea.
Still better (and tastier) than meds IMHO. Of course don't take my advice always, ALWAYS, talk to your doctor.

You should know that there is data that backs you up: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8875377/#sec5-nutrients-14-00739
And also on the self-medicated front: nicotine is effective too. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8741955/
What this makes me wonder is how much of the population is self-medicated in this way but doesn't know it?

Yup didn't mention cigarettes because I kicked the habit but nicotine also does wonders for ADD. LOL
