Not sure of your situation, but hormones also have a pretty significant impact on med performance for women, so for me when I am like a week out from my period I am both way worse ADHD symptom-wise and my meds are less effective so that’s fun.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something you can see, hear, smell, etc., that others can't?
2·1 month agoExactly the same for me. Full fat coke is basically the only option now if I do want one.

191·1 month agoThe god-awful taste of sugar substitutes.
A lot of people can taste things like saccharine I think? But I can taste any fake sugar, even when there is a mix of real and fake sugar in the same thing.
Aspartame/acesulfane is definitely the worst of them all, but sucralose, stevia… all of them taste like medicine kind of.
I can also taste the difference between cane and beetroot based granulated sugar. Beetroot sugar is sharper.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Unlike most people, I get my information from a vetted, trusted source.
2·1 month agoMan it has been ages since I had to exchange, I’m shocked at how different it is, although I have to remember it’s been bloody 12 years since I left 😱
I’m old.

Actually came across a useful thing the other day… if you go back 20-30s because you missed something (because you didn’t have CC on), when it restarts it will add captions for 20s.

9·2 months agoLeft unanswered: Why would anyone intentionally swallow one magnet, let alone 100? This is like blaming Temu for someone drinking gasoline.

I wonder if I can use copilot in outlook to do something similar

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•"United States" in French (États-Unis) would have made a very confusing acronym
2·3 months agoIt quickly gets dissolved into the abyss of the mind, I get that! I lived in Japan for 4 years and can only remember a few useless bits.

ADHD@lemmy.world•Did anyone else here have a positive experience with Elvanse?English
0·6 months agoYes I get that sometimes too! I like your explanation because I had been struggling to explain. I generally just need to sit in silence or something at that point and give myself space to readjust.
Definitely tell your doctor if you are feeling good and if the meds are lasting long enough for you right now. Speaking up for yourself is important to make sure you are getting what you need, not what someone else assumes you need.
You could always increase the dose later down the line if you need to.

ADHD@lemmy.world•Did anyone else here have a positive experience with Elvanse?English
0·6 months agoI’ve been on Elvanse since around November of last year.
I was supposed to get titrated up to 60mg but when I got to 50 I felt… like the inside of me was just a black hole? I don’t really know how to describe it.
In the end I have settled at 40mg. Been on this for nearly 6 months now and don’t really have any problems. I did want to strike a balance between helping with ADHD and not going too far into light/noise sensitivity issues I found are worse when on meds, so it works for me :)
One thing to note though if you are a person who menstruates… I didn’t have periods for a while (due to my contraceptive), but as it’s nearing its end of life they have started coming back and let me just say that your hormones can really mess with how well the meds work. I’ve got an Amfexa top-up prescription for days I am really struggling, but other than those oddities it has been good so far :)
I’ve got some amfexa for my weeks, but to be totally honest I keep forgetting to take them so now I have like a weird stockpile of them 😅
