"Rejection sensitivity" is not medically accepted; this isn't to say it's being suppressed by big psych, it's just something an ADHD blog made up and everyone thought they were authoritative about it for some reason.

The symptoms of "rejection sensitivity" are just anxiety, which is often comorbid with ADHD.

The non-stimulant medications (Tenex, Strattera) have their issues but they are 24 hour effective. Maybe this one too.
