Hey Dina! Be easy on yourself! Give it 2 weeks for the medication to kick in, don’t analyse each day too much and just go with the flow! Good luck :)

Dina please give the meds at least 30 days to settle in and help regulate in your body. Also, try to take each tablet at the same time each day. It really helps with the effectiveness of the medication. You can do this!!!

Dina, please don’t take it on/off! With meds like these, consistency and regularity is so so important for the meds to work. Your body needs to get used to it. Sometimes you won’t even see the effects until after taking it for a few weeks/months but please persist. A few days is simply not enough to judge the effects of these medications. Sometimes taking it on/off might even make your symptoms work, especially missing doses here and there. I think the best thing would to take it regularly, 3 times a day, same time every day for at least 3 months and at the end, then judge how you feel/the effects.

Thanks for sharing Dina 💛 Your self awareness is so great. Recognising our own problematic behaviour is the first step and so helpful, especially in a marriage. Implementing the changes is of course a little more challenging 😉Wishing you and Sid all the best with your therapy journey. While I am not in the same boat as you, my understanding is that meds take time to regulate in your body and an assessment over time is probably more effective. Your scepticism is understandable and I was happy to see by day 7 you were embracing it more. Sending healing vibes x

I know it's temping to be in control of the med taking times and have it when you think is best but I found it a lot better when I take mine when it's recommended. By the way I didn't see proper results until 1 month of consistently taking them on time. Glad your documenting your journey. Hope everything works our for your benefit and your familes inshallah. 🥰

***Binge Eating*** It's been a year since I've been diagnosed & medicated and it's been one of the absolute best years health-wise(mental aand physical). Everything you've expressed about binge eating and your experience with adhd resonates soooo strongly! Up until a year ago, eating felt like the equivalent of getting on a bike with no breaks, & all of a sudden you're full speed ahead, thrilled, until you inevitably crash... but now, the metaphorical bike has breaks and little side mirrors too lol.

Dina has had flare ups since post marriage child birth. These are alot of big changes for people with no adhd. I have adhd and generalized anxiety. Working out during stress or panic helps and for adhd i choose 3 priorities per day and thats it baby. More than that takes the back seat. With that said assigning days to smaller tasks helps complete the life. I drive my partner mad at times with it but hes a good support. Make sure Sid has a strong support system also. Remember hes a role model winner family man and Dina is a hero mom! So do your best. If it doesnt get done fuc it

This show why you NEED to take the medication as directed (2 or 3 times a day) for some time, to actually see a difference. By taking it like you do (whenever YOU think its good to take it) you 'confuse' the body, and this medication is not like a Paracetamol that you take for pain, and the pain is gone in 30 minutes. Most meds for 'disorders' like ADHD works over time, and to see if it is for you, you HAVE to follow the instruction you have been given, or you will never know if it can help you. Atomoxetine would probebly work best for you. It is different than all other ADHD medication, and its worth asking your GP for it... unless she or he already given it to you... but it is a REGULAR medication; not one you take when you 'feel you need it'.

Thanks Dina, that was actually really useful. It is noticeable when you're talking on your medication and not. You are a little more calmer in your speech on your medication and a little more focused, not being distracted by your environment or side-thoughts. I'm going to go on medication in the near future I think and your comments around eating are very positive for me who's been an impulsive eater literally the whole of my life. If i start taking these meds and that stops, I will be both relieved and incredibly pissed off

You might be a bit sensitive so don't take any meds later than 1 or 2pm unless you know you're going to have a really long day. It takes a almost a full week for your body to get used to the changes from the meds, and when you take it everyday its like you said @9:06 it still in your system a bit the next day.

I have been taking them for 3 months now and it has changed my life. Everyone around me notice the change. I’m so much more productive and focused. it has changed my life for the better. I hope you find the right medication and dosage, just remember for some, it takes some time to adjust. ♥️

Dina, the meds don't necessarily "cure" you but it helps you control yourself better. Like how you said you felt like interupting, but were able to do it less than you used to. Depending on what meds you are taking it can affect your appetite. So with your history I would make sure your doctor knows about this and makes sure it doesn't negatively affect you. Even if you can't I can see the progress and it reminds me of when I started taking meds. I figured out I had adhd at 20. Since you are having sleep issues your doc might want to try extended release which is one pill in the morning only. Also sleep, diet, stress, etc can make the meds feel less effective. When I am on my period the meds have nearly no affect. It works better with a solid schedule. Don't feel bad that pills seem to make the difference we couldn't ourselves. Our brains are wired differently and it is not our fault. And apparently they just found out is a gene mutation. The pills make up the difference. We don't expect diabetic people to make their own insulin. Adhd pills are to us what insulin is to a diabetic. So many of the things you describe in this video are the same for me like housework exhausting you. Check how long those pills are supposed to last and depending on that talk to your doctor about not taking the third dose late or at all if it affects your sleep. I am so happy this is helping you. I suggest do lots of research and read other peoples experiences. Check out the r/adhd subreddit you will find other people are very similar to you.

No need to give yourself insomnia when you dont need to be awake and focused anyway. Ive been taking adhd meds for yrs (adderall). Yes it suppresses your appetite and btw youre the one that made me realize that without adderall i totally binge without control and i only realize what i did when i wake up sick the next morning and vomit. I dont even realize how much im eating until i become sick. I didnt realize it had anything to do with adhd

Food is a VERY easy way to get dopamine which is something ADHD brains lack significantly, so many people with ADHD struggle with binge eating bc their brain is always like "AHHH GIVE ME DOPAMINE!!!" When you take your meds, these excessive cravings calm down because your brain can maintain the bit of dopamine it produces better :)

So depending on the chemical compound of your medication, meaning if it has an amphetamine in it then you will have insomnia. I take 50 mg a day of Vyvanse and I take it right after I eat in the morning. This way it’s out of my system by the end of the day. Yeah, you forget to eat because you aren’t hungry. Personally I have hypoglycemia so if I don’t eat I can faint and get a massive headache. So I have to keep snacks around me so I remember to eat. However, I’m overweight by 50 lbs right now so it obvs didn’t affect my weight. LoL And it takes a few weeks like someone else said. My first week I was running high.. but now I’m just able to focus. I do need to have music or a podcast going in the background to assuage the other side of my brain. That’s the issue with ADHD, we try to use both sides of our brain at the same time. I do still have those moments where I’m unable to hold my comments in a conversation and it’s hard not to over talk. But I’m working on that. It’s not a magic pill. You have to see what works with your body.

Hi Dina! I hope you see this as I believe it's quite important for you to read. I am also talking from experience as a person with the same personality type as you (INFP-T). We sometimes get diagnosed as ADHD as we have a brain that is constantly thinking and wondering about different things and different possibilities to any sort of outcome to a situation. We have tendencies to be hyperactive and quite impulsive. Honestly Dina I would urge you more to look into your personality type and study it alot more, especially the small little quirks and nuances of yourself because I definitely believe you would relate. There's ways we can hone our personality type to allow us to function like "normal" humans but in actuality we aren't normal and we are the most unique personality type (subjectively speaking) by unique I don't mean it in a way where I am looking down on other personality types, we are just very different and have different ways of perceiving information. I urge you to read/watch KZbin videos about INFPs and how we can hone these "disadvantages" and make it into a positive to turn our life around. Thanks for reading if you made it this far!

I can say that because I am high potential / gifted, and some of the things you describe about yourself are really similar to what I am feeling too! And ADHD can be a part of the high potential. Just like hypersensitivity and many other things… Try to check it with a psychologist 😘

I would recommend really researching and taking the medicine for as long as prescribed. If the meds are for ADHD you’re obviously taking a stimulant. You’re talking about not sleeping, not wanting to eat…it’s not supposed to be a cure all…

I've suffered from binge eating for 20 years, I've tried clinics, everything... then to my surprise I was diagnosed with severe adhd and... maybe... I don't know... I'm afraid to take medication...

Do it girl! Disordered eating is super common in people with ADHD because food (especially sweets) is a very easy way to get dopamine, which is a key thing our brains lack. ADHD meds help with this because it lets us maintain the lil bit of dopamine we produce, and regulates our emotions better (just like what Dina was experiencing)! ADHD medication is also nice in the sense that if you don't like it, you can just stop and try another dose or type, so there's nothing to fear :)

@@co_co_chantal My life is hell, since binge eating I can no longer work and I now have an intestinal blockage. Rationally I know I shouldn't do it, but it happens. So having recently been diagnosed, everything I had done up to now was wrong. Or what if I tried good coffee?

Ughhh I've had a blockage before due to other health problems and it's AWFUL, I'm sorry you're going through that rn 😓 Treating your ADHD will almost certainly help treat your binge eating! Some people *do* self medicate with strong coffee, but it's much more intense than medication, has an inconsistent "dosage", and doesn't last nearly as long as one tablet (especially compared to XR medication which is only taken once a day in the morning)! I can't actually drink coffee at all bc it gives me panic attacks, but I can very happily take my ADHD medication and it actually makes me calmer 👏 Since you have a diagnosis, I would definitely suggest just chatting with your doctor about trying medication-- you can even start with just taking a child's dose and slowly up the dose until you're at a place where the medication is helpful 😊 Alongside medication, therapy is also very helpful for learning coping strategies to deal with your ADHD (and by extension, binge eating). If you support from others with ADHD, I really found a lot of help on the r/ADHD forum on Reddit 💛

I’m so curious what your ADHD medication is! I and my daughter both have ADHD and I’ve never heard of a medication for it that you take more than twice a day.

Since ADHD medication is so individual, some doctors will start with the IR version of the medication if there's one available since it's much faster to leave the system if that medication isn't working out and they want to pivot to another one! Dina is likely taking Concerta/Ritalin (methylphenidate) since that's one of the most common meds available in IR form in the UK.
