I'm not currently medicated for adhd, but I've been curious to ask. Has anyone had success with medication dealing with the social battery aspect? It's one of my worst symptoms, and really impacts work.

It seems to vary and depends on both the meds you use and the kind/severity of ADHD you have.

I find I'm social without meds. On meds is fine but I'm not convinced it's better

A friend of mine does not function normally without meds. He needed meds to balance out and have fun while out.

Step one is to get medicated! Starts with getting diagnosed, then finding a psych after that.

Sometimes I find I'll get overstimulated during my medication, and after the meds wear off, I get one hell of a headache.

Adderall helps me with that quite a bit. Not to the point where I can keep it up all day, but I can at least not have a mental breakdown after talking to three people at work
