Things you should know about ADHD Medication
Hi ADHDers!
I know, it’s been a while since I’ve been on here!
I had 3 unexpected family deaths in the space of 3 months, what a way to kick off 2024!?
Anyways cheers to new beginnings!
Okay so what are everyone’s thoughts about ADHD Medication?
Love em, dislike em, wanna try em?
I’ve been taking ADHD Medication for a little over 4 years now and it’s been LIFE CHANGING.
But I should say, they don’t ‘fix’ everything. I see them as an effective tool, among other tools to help me navigate life as an adult with ADHD.
Oh and don’t get me started on side effects, surprise they exist!
Oh and there’s a bunch of things they don’t tell you like orange juice making meds less effective and how ineffective meds are during PMS!
Lets talk about it!

Really sorry for your losses, sending love and thank you for your brilliant video I watched today. My first time here I wanted to ask the following regarding side effects from the stimulant drugs please:
I am late diagnosed Nov 2023 female at 53 and sometimes take Elvanse 50mg -after 6 hours today of energy, clarity and focus, I now feel a bit nauseous - I am post viral from some sort of bug started last week which I thought I was over so it maybe linked to that.
Is nausea a side effect that anyone has experienced with this drug?
I might not be taking enough breaks as I often motor on through when I have taken the medication.
My other side effects are a few tics and often worsened ADHD symptoms when the drug has worn off early evening such as brain fog ( forgetting the right words) more impatience and tiredness. I am however aware of this and try to go easy on myself then but sometimes hard when its dinner time etc for the teenage kids.
I feel that the benefits of Elvanse are worth it for me when I have a lot to get through with my work and it helps so much with clearer communication, staying calm and prioritising tasks. I only take them on average 1-2 times a week.
What might be your experiences with this drug? Would love to hear.
Thank you for reading,

I have never been a fan for it. One reason the doctors drop me the moment I say no to them…
But I also read a book about adhd for girls, and all the studies for medication is based on boys. And for girls those medication can be harder becasue of the periods….. just put one from each area in one room and start working… 😑
