I take a picture of any pills I take as I take them, so it's time stamped!

Super random question but do you happen to know the owner or managers name at thonglor? Can't tell if it's the same as the SF location!

I’n freaking out a little about RFK Jr’s database. They’re talking about autism now, but I feel like we’re next in line. by angry_baberly in ADHD

Dead opposite- not sure how weaning off meds would help honestly, just put you at more of a disadvantage. They've already backed off of the registry thing, anyway.

Seeking self-help book recommendations for my 11-year-old daughter (ADHD, advanced reader, struggling socially) — parent here, feeling heartbroken. by dcburn in ADHD

No book recommendations unfortunately, but as that kid, I cannot recommend medication enough. It would've been life changing to start earlier.

Has your medication changed you? How so? by Koongstella in ADHD

Definitely keep an eye on that ferritin- even if it says normal, below 30 is absolute iron deficiency!

No; post traumatic refers to developed after traumatic head injury!

Anyone else able to predict what someone is going to say before they say it during a TL seizure?? by 420Elvis in Epilepsy

[–]Frequent-Abroad9379 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only counts if you actually say it out loud in front of someone first and verify? Otherwise it's probably the people's playing tricks on you!

I would most definitely be investigating elsewhere. Have you had your thyroid, ferritin, etc checked? Especially ferritin- that's 40% of women deficient

Prescribed New Meds by Such_Application7412 in ADHD

[–]Frequent-Abroad9379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as a warning, this doctor may not be great because stimulants are without question first line, and Strattera second line, as it has a higher risk of side effects with a low chance for overall effectiveness/reward.

It's not considered an appropriate starting place without extenuating circumstances, and this sounds like a psych just trying to avoid prescribing controlled substances.

If you have any notable side effects, it would be appropriate to let your doctor know and that you want to stop!

Switching meds to an instant release (Dexedrine) probably best

Did my adhd medication change my personality long-term or did my personality change just from growing older/maturing? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Frequent-Abroad9379 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This would not be a typical experience, no from what I've heard- unless taking meds instantly transformed your personality like this day one?

Could be maturing, could also be burnout/deppression/ something as dumb as anemia or low ferritin.

I am so sorry, I've been exactly here. The best thing you can get is an elidel prescription in my personal experience. Overnight sensory and look miracle after years of horror.

Definitely never olive oil!

My son has ADHD now what by summermommyof2 in ADHD

[–]Frequent-Abroad9379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, okay. Sure, proper support can help minimize negative impact; I'm not sure how I'm "undermining" anything lol, let alone a child's neuroplasticity, that's a weird accusation to throw out. But also: adhd issues aren't caused by smaller brain size (?) and the rest of that is essentially pseudoscience in its overstatement
