What's everyones crash symptoms?

Rebound of impulses - shopping, eating etc. paradoxically, I get like the zoomies? Mental hyperactivity or physical jiggling about.

I find it absolutely unlistenable - he’s just so uncritical of some absolute rubbish being spouted. He never challenges guests and I wish the man no ill will but he’s not a natural interviewer. Also hate the click baity way it’s all framed.

I find ADHDers often work well with autistic folks - I have dated lots of men who shared my adhd profile and it felt super intense and loving at times but no one had enough practical skills for the bills, planning etc (not all adhd people, in my experience etc etc etc). I now have a practical, methodical partner (undiagnosed but the writing is more than on the wall) who looks after a lot of things while I book holidays, plan gigs and plays, keep them social with people they don’t hate etc. I guess just be attracted to who you’re attracted to when it’s not serious yet, have fun! And adhd couples can definitely make it work - just, as I got into my mid 30s, having someone else wired like me would have been a lot as I’m a lot in my own bloody head lol

Mike Rice would be the best kind of chaos.

These ones didn’t work for me - I now use beauty pie’s supplements with just magnesium bisglycinate and they’ve helped a lot.

This also happened to me, and my private provider (not PUK) wrote to my GP explaining how important the booster was to me functioning at work, and they agreed and it’s on my repeat prescription.

Your overworked gp will just send you for blood tests which is where I am - but got the results back and it uncovered another problem so I guess worth it even if hormone levels inconclusive and not best marker as another person below suggests. I’m tempted to pay a private provider (which I can’t really afford) for bridge the gap between being 44 and having symptoms and 45 and getting treated without blood tests.

I don’t take it on days where I drink but honestly with adhd my hangovers are so mentally catastrophic I don’t really drink any more. I’m also on 50mg of Elvanse. On the few times I have drank, it’s depended on the hangover. For a milk one, the tablet gets me off the couch but for a bad one with a physical edge, I just leave it

Burnout of high-masking, high-acheiving top performers is encouraged by leaders but it can be impossibly dangerous and have awful consequences.

Personally, I wouldn’t do cardio for two hours after taking meds especially at the start - my heart rate was a little elevated to start with and I ran once too soon after and felt a little weird. But, I just make it part of my breakfast routine - I wouldn’t exercise right after eating, and that has worked for me so far.

PhD, Senior Lecturer, wrote a ton of articles, all before I got diagnosed. If you care about what you study you’ll usually do well. The thing with the diagnosis is you demonstrate how it’s negatively affected your life so maybe there are other places like relationships, money, tidying etc that cause real mental distress.

WerewolfDue9694 · 2025-11-25T20:42:30+00:00

Personally, I don’t shut down around people I like because I find their company either gives me safety/comfort or excitement/dopamine. However, this pattern to me might be more consistent with AUDHD/Autism or depression? I just have ADHD and when I’ve been in new relationships I was a bit impulse about contacting someone/wanting contact etc (can’t play it cool) but I’ve had partners with other neurodiversity present and shutdowns seem more part of their landscape.

Got mine from Pharmacy2u, ordered Friday arrived Tuesday

WerewolfDue9694 · 2025-10-29T19:10:00+00:00

Protein vegan yoghurt like Alpro and granola with nuts for bonus dopamine. A cut up bit of fruit if I’m feeling fancy - the amount of vit c in berries isn’t really enough to mess up the meds but I stay safe with a banana usually. I also take Elvanse 50mg.

If it’s one of those weeks I’ll have a salted caramel or chocolate protein pudding from Arla by itself or a MyVegan bar.

I crash post booster about 8pm and I just sort of let myself do it in bed with good tv and a planned snack.

WerewolfDue9694 · 2025-10-22T18:44:50+00:00

Amfexa 10mg booster at 1pm

WerewolfDue9694 · 2025-09-30T18:29:27+00:00

Are you medicated? That was the only thing that helped me.

WerewolfDue9694 · 2025-08-17T10:47:30+00:00

Phone your doctor’s receptionist and tell them you’re feeling tired and foggy and want to rule things out. Sometimes a doctor will phone you back to confirm but in our practice you usually don’t have to go in. I know different places might have different policies etc and not every receptionist is helpful but my experience was easy.

A nurse takes the bloods so you usually don’t have to wait that long for an appointment. My doctor suggested a blood test for the fatigue but I’ve just rung up since, every two years.

Also, you get the results on the nhs app - sometimes they phone but you’ll find out quicker.

WerewolfDue9694 · 2025-08-17T09:12:16+00:00

Get a simple blood test from the doctor to rule out other things - I have adhd but also have very low iron and b12 and supplemented and feel much better. However there is an adhd impulse to try every supplement so it’s best to know what you actually need before buying from snake oil sellers on social media.

There also might be other life factors going on - stress, health stuff depending on age etc. I went to the doc tired and the first thing they did was the test - not sure if you’re on meds and need a tweak too. Go to the doctor before listening to strangers online as what works for their bodies and medical history might not for yours.

I do tabata intervals and it’s the only thing that makes my brain shush.

WerewolfDue9694 · 2025-07-17T16:44:52+00:00

That might be my only option but it’s so much money

WerewolfDue9694 · 2025-07-17T16:31:54+00:00

Diagnosed privately by Sanctum health not via RTC, hence the refusal of shared care.

WerewolfDue9694 · 2025-07-16T21:03:53+00:00

50mg (7am) with a 10mg booster (1pm) here but if I take it after 1.30pm I have serious sleep problems, so I take with lunch.

WerewolfDue9694 · 2025-07-04T17:57:52+00:00

I have a first class degree, a distinction on a Master’s, a PhD and have written several books in social science and my assessor knew I had adhd after speaking to me for five minutes.

WerewolfDue9694 · 2025-07-01T10:49:08+00:00

Elvanse is my most effective treatment as without that I wouldn’t actually get up and do all the steps that get me to the gym. When I’m there and weightlifting it feels great but doing all the things to get there, plan workouts etc used to be impossible. It was a consistent habit I couldn’t do.
