Hoping some people on here have some first hand experience with alternative non-prescription options that behave similar to ADHD medication (e.g. DHMA, Eria Jarensis, Sabroxy, PEA, ALCAR, Citicoline, etc.).

I’m growing increasingly concerned with the shortages and restrictions around ADHD medications, as it is getting harder and harder to find stock to have my prescription filled. I recently lost my job due to mass layoffs and it is not a time where I can be taking a “med vacation.” I have been rationing my 15mg Adderall XR to stretch 2 months at a time but it’s still cutting it close each time I need a refill. It’s also unfortunately not an easy task to switch medications to other options like Vyvanse or even find out if a pharmacy has stock if they’re out of Adderall due to the sensitive nature of the drugs. I’m often times treated like an opioid addict “trying to get my next hit” when searching for solutions by doctors and pharmacies, so I’d rather play it safe and not involve them at all if I can. Any alternative drug/supp experience or unorthodox practices you all have figured out to get through this?

Appreciate the insight in advance.

Really just a vent.

I have been interviewing for a high level creative position at top fashion brand since early April. Just last week they called to inform me that they wanted to fly me out to the headquarters to meet the rest of the team — this was after roughly 4 interviews and a mock campaign project (which is illegal where I live if unpaid, but I did it anyways because of how badly I wanted this specific role). I received nothing but praise throughout the entire process, even getting extra “meetings” scheduled because of how impressed the senior management was and they said they simply just “had to meet me.”

Today, I received an email with information about the trip, stating that this person was going to be in charge of scheduling all of my interviews while I’m visiting the headquarters. I responded professionally with asking for more information on what exactly to expect with these interviews, considering I’ve met the full chain of command for this role. I received a response essentially saying it would be easier to talk about the trip over the phone and we scheduled a quick call.

The call was not what I was expecting. They informed me that I didn’t get the job and that they wanted to let me know in advance so I wouldn’t be wasting my time flying out to meet everyone only to be met with a rejection.

What gives? What could have possibly happened between the company praising me, asking for flight preferences and this impromptu phone call? Why would the rejection come NOW? It just doesn’t make sense to me.

My most recent interview was with the top in command of this role and the entire call was essentially telling me that I was the only candidate that had actually done the mock campaign project well, that I was the only candidate who seemed to understand the brand and had what it took to move them forward. So much so, that my project was nearly identical to the new way they wanted to be presenting their creative. I was told I had the perfect background to take this role to the next level. To sign off the call, they said “I can’t wait for you to meet everyone else, it’s going to be great.”

It all just seems so fishy to me and has me seriously whiplashed. I didn’t receive any ounce of doubt from any point in the process that I wasn’t going to be the one moving forward.

Anyways, I sent a “final note” thanking the two senior management members for their time and asking if they could share any feedback on what I could improve.

Really at a loss and feeling completely defeated after such a lengthy process. Not really sure what to do at this point.

If I put a 1.5” strut spacer on the front suspension, what size tire / rim could I comfortably run with no cutting or trimming? I’m assuming 34” but also curious about what I could run without adding any wheel spacers. Crash pad and mud flaps are fine to remove, assuming those would need to go

Also, I see a lot of people doing 1.5” on the front and .75” on the back. Is that true level or is that just preference?
