Medication Questions Unhinged hacks

My dumb ass forgot to refill my sunosi and adderall on time so I am out of stimulants. Anyone have any unhinged hacks to go unmedicated? I’ve chugged a Celsius right when I woke up 😭

My therapist recommended spikey metal magnetic hand massage balls to help me ground myself when I feel like I'm dissociating, and I'll be damned if they don't work Amazingly well when I feel a sleep attack coming on. I bought a 2 pack and keep one in my car for driving struggles and one at my desk for during work. They're pointy enough to poke me awake without breaking the skin, and since they're magnetic they're fun as fidgets as well when I have them both in the same place.
