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.
Oh hell yes. I take Jornay, so I take it before bed. If I take it with food, it kicks in later and doesn’t seem as strong, so I take it on an empty stomach at 21:00 now.
I also notice differences between days, mostly based on if I’ve gotten enough sleep or not and if I’ve been eating well and staying hydrated. Doing both makes my ADHD symptoms noticeably better.
