Literally always keeping my nails painted is the only thing that's helped. I bit my nails from toddlerhood into my late 20s, with or without meds. I didn't want to paint my nails at first because I'm not f but finally said fuck it, and I'm not looking back.
My nails are too thin to get long enough to bite consistently, but I would wrap my hand around my wrist and squeeze when anxious. I would have finger bruises on my wrists. Nail polish I just sit there and peel off. Fake nails will be ripped off in 2-3 days, no matter how much it damages my nails, and I also play(ed) string instruments. I still squeeze my wrists sometimes, but I have to be really really stressed out.
As someone on Adderall instead, is it really like that? There is one generic manufacturer, Activis, that I refuse to accept from the pharmacy as I feel like I am tweaking out the entire day and falling apart. Only time I ever refused to finish the bottle and begged the pharmacy to replace it, which they were unable to do.

In my country ritalin is prescribed in conjunction with an anxiety medication to mitigate stuff line this.

Hmm that might be worth me considering. What med do they prescribe it with?

For bottles: Knive (multi-tool)
For blister: Still knive but in batch mode.
I never tried to puncture this metal seal with bare hands.
