Should I meditate before or after taking my ADHD medication?

This is genuinely individual, so it helps to experiment and, ideally, check with your prescriber. Some people find meditating after their medication takes effect easier, because focus comes more readily. Others value meditating before or unmedicated, using it to practise steadying a restless mind on its own terms. Neither is more “correct.” Notice which feels more sustainable for you. StillMind’s guided sessions give your attention a clear anchor either way, which tends to help the ADHD brain stay engaged.
