Weirds of a Feather: An AuDHD-Adjacent Podcast

Ep. 82: ADHD & Pharmacology: The Oldsmobile of Stimulants


Listen Later

Fiddle your fidgisauruses and dammit, get ready to learn, because we’re bringing you a meat-forward episode that’s sure to get the brain juices flowing.

 

In an episode brought to you by Adderall, Professor Kristin is shimmying into her trusty lab coat and educating us on the chemistry behind ADHD stimulant medications. She’s covering the mechanism of action of amphetamines and methylphenidates, evaluating the potential cross interactions, benefits, and side effects of each stimulant type, and ranting about the current medication shortage that’s affecting so many of us. 

 

Plus, will taking drugs dampen your sparkle? Is Vyvanse the Oldsmobile of ADHD medications? Do centaurs sleep standing up, and if so, does their spine health suffer the consequences? Come ponder these questions and more with your two favorite podcasters who are definitely not pharmacists, so technically you can’t sue us.
