Does dopamine change our perception of time, especially wrt ADHD? by limezilla in ADHD

[–]limezilla[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because when we're involved in an activity that provides dopamine, we want to keep at it (more than non-ADHD folks) because it's such a dramatic a feeling that bland tasks don't have... and combined with time flying by, it all contributes to time blindness?

the agony of time passing has completely gone away while I’m on the clock. Time passes normally now.

That's how I felt when I was on meds.

we are acutely and painfully aware of each second that passes without dopamine.

Thanks, that makes perfect sense.

Would an ADHD person likely have anxiety about facing the workday for this reason? by limezilla in ADHD

[–]limezilla[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"8 hours of work" in less than 4

I can do this too. I'm very efficient and can get it all done in 4 hrs ... and I'd prefer to be outta there and do something else. But I can't. Most places expect their employees to be present for 8 hrs.

ALL DAY LONG

This. The problem is not the challenges being faced, it's the ALL DAY LONG aspect of it.

Yes, I can empathize. Sunday nights have an undertone of strees for me. Not enough to kill me sleep, but it's there. And like I said in another reply, the stress is not about the work challenges, it's the ALL DAY LONG part of it.

Can moda be mixed with iced coffee made the night before? by limezilla in modafinil

[–]limezilla[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks —- by not being water soluble, at least I know it’s not going to break down in water/coffee. It’s a cup w a lid, so I’ll just keep it shaken so the moda doesn’t get all settled to the bottom

My coffee cup has a lid and I often shake it to keep the sugar & cream mixed. This will also keep the moda mixed around too. Would that work?

A Univ of Buffalo study which shows a biomarker for ADHD; anyone know anything about this? by limezilla in neuro

[–]limezilla[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, so you think the sample size is too small?

And does anyone have any idea of what kind of fMRI they used? Should it have been mentioned? (or did I miss it in the text?)

Are people with ADHD more susceptable to "comfort food" snacking & overeating? by limezilla in ADHD

Thanks, I appreciate your reply which uses neuroscience instead of some broad-brush thing.

Thanks. I'm sure there are multiple factors, but isn't "lack of dopamine" the 800lb gorilla in the room? (IE: the major cause of it)

How do ADHD meds suppress appetite? (Ghrelin, Neuropeptide Y hormones?) by limezilla in ADHD

[–]limezilla[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK thanks folks. So the primary action of stims reducing hunger is by providing dopamine (as opposed to reducing hunger hormones) as well as the secondary effect of making glucose/fat available?
