ADHD Medication and Me: The good, the bad & the unexpected


Listen Later

In January, I commenced ADHD medication and now 11 months later, I'm sharing my experience of how it has impacted my productivity and mood. While my experience has been mostly positive, there are some negative effects that I wasn't expecting and even now, I'm still figuring out the right balance for me.In this episode, I'm sharing as honestly as possible what I was struggling with before, how the medication has improved things and the reality that it isn't a cure-all. If anyone is considering seeking a diagnosis and not sure whether they want to take medication for ADHD symptoms, I hope sharing my experience is helpful.**This is my personal experience. I am not a medical professional and when it comes to medication, every person's experience will be different. You should talk to your health care provider about what the treatment options are and what you might expect.Takeaways:
  • The diagnosis of ADHD can be a turning point and a catalyst for healing your relationship with yourself, giving you a better understanding of your past experiences
  • Medication for ADHD can enhance focus and productivity, but there are some things it doesn't improve such as ability to prioritise
  • It's essential to prioritise self-care such as eating regularly, getting sufficient sleep and taking breaks
  • Personal experiences with ADHD medication reveal both benefits and challenges in daily life.
