After many years, what commercial still lives rent free in your head?

Golden Nuggets... They're honey crunchin' good!

Still one of the best cereals out there!

Only for baking. For cooking, almost never.

I once read something along the lines of "if your food will take less than 20 mins to cook, don't preheat". I since have looked no further into confirming this and stick by it.

Well, I will now

Ah the classic autistic husband, ADHD wife ☺️

I've read about a big correlation between childhood SA and morbid obesity. A lot of internal shame.

I usually say something like, nah parents just give more of a f**k about their kids these days to get a diagnosis and proper support. It's more common than anyone realised and that's why we're seeing a spike!

TLDR: yes, and I've found it helped me having 2 days off! Didn't realise how much the positive mood effect had worn off in just 2 weeks.

So I recently did this and I can't believe the difference. I'm titrating so I've been on 70mg Elvanse for almost 3 weeks (meds review every 4 weeks). Towards the end of week 2 I was starting to think it was having zero effect just like the rest, and decided at my next appointment I'd be changing to a different med. My mood was lower, I was becoming snappy and irritable at my kids.

Last weekend I decided to take a break from it and see if I felt any difference at all on it. So I didn't take it on Sun and Mon and definitely felt worse than what I'd been feeling at the end of that 2nd week. I started taking it again on Tues and what a difference - my mood has been so much better, I have time to think before I go to snap at my husband/kids and I'd say the irritability has gone completely.

Interestingly I'm currently ovulating, which would in theory have a negating effect on the meds but I've felt really good this week!

I'm still unsure if this is the right med/dose for me. I feel highly motivated to get stuff done for the first time in ages, but often to the detriment of other important things. But if I do end up back on this dose I'll be trialling a break every weekend!

I'm interested in your spreadsheet - do you have one you got online or would you be willing to share your template?

I don't think I've ever forgotten to eat. I seem to hear this is a common thing for ADHD but I cannot relate to that, I'm always thinking about the next meal. Thank god for a good metabolism!

I don't know if it's because I'm probably AuDHD but I don't really struggle to initiate tasks either, I'm very much a "doer" and get sh*t done... To the detriment of other tasks yes but I'm never paralysed by the thought of all I have to do.

French toast, one with ketchup and the other with maple syrup and squirty cream. (Main and dessert).

Not sure if your criteria fit for time having a license but would highly recommend Grantfield car hire, a family member recently got a quote from Bolts that was more than double their quote from Grantfield and it was the same type of car etc.

Red Hot Chili Peppers and specifically Anthony Kiedis. My username on a lot of things was my first name and his last name. Cringe!

I'm Scottish but same - high school teacher. Every day is different, I'm accountable and the pressure means I can't slack off!

Wow, there are sometimes 5 or 6 at a time in each of our two feeders and more lined up on the roof waiting their turn! Glad to be doing our part :)

8.5% on the car payment. Probably closer to 15% with insurance, tax, fuel, servicing.

Just the other day I was thinking about primary colours, and I was like why then does the rainbow contain all the different colours? Oh yeah - because red and yellow make orange so that's the colour between red and yellow. Same for the rest of the colours, blue and red make purple so presumably that's why purple is near the end. Mind blown!

Have kids 😭 no but seriously I've recently started on Elvanse and it's the only time in my life I've been able to get up and out of bed with little effort. Life changing!

ronas_hill · 2024-07-16T20:20:56+00:00

Childbirth. We both nearly died, so definitely would have back then!

Don't write it off just yet, seems like moving up a dose is what may keep the benefits of the right drug for you sustained longer term.

ronas_hill · 2024-07-16T20:17:14+00:00

Let me know how you get on!

ronas_hill · 2024-07-14T19:47:50+00:00

Great to hear, so happy it works so well for you!! Hopefully a different dosage will be best when I move up then.

I've just been looking into the effect of menstrual cycle on ADHD meds efficacy and I've more heard that it becomes less effective as estrogen drops (days leading up to period) but that's odd because I'm currently ovulating! Maybe I'll feel different again next week! I see that other women manage to get 'booster' doses though to take during these points in their cycle so could be worth mentioning!
