Does anyone else experience variation in what the effect of their meds feels like?

I’ve gradually increased my dose to 2 x 30 mg of slow release methylphenidat and have had a couple of days where I felt fantastic. Very focused but also calm and balanced. I had this very strong feeling of “really being myself” as in being able to use my full potential as a person.

Then I have some days where I barely notice anything and today I’ve mostly just felt jittery and a bit anxious. I can feel the stimulating effect on my body (higher heart rate) but without the mentally calming effect.

    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 😅

      I pack my meds in a weekly pill box with the days marked, so that I can see whether I’ve taken them (because who can remember what I did 5 minutes ago?). Anyway, that combines with a recurring task reminder every 2 weeks to change the dose, which I check before packing for the coming week. So far, it’s working for me 🤞

        I have a weekly pillbox also, but I am not organised enough to set a reminder to take a booster in the afternoon on/before my period week.

        Need someone that can do me an app or something that adds med changes to cycle tracking.
