ADHD Medication – part 1 (What in the Q & A?!)

The first installment of What in the Q & A answers three questions from some of my twitter followers:

1. If caffeine gives me anxiety, will ADHD medications do the same?
2. How long does it normally take for medication to start working?
3. Is it okay to take days off from taking my meds?

I answer each question in depth and explain the science behind non-stimulants vs. stimulants and the mechanisms of action for vyvanse and adderall. I also give a few tips for those of you that may be just starting out on your ADHD treatment journey!

As always, everyone’s body is different, so the things I discuss may not apply to everyone – but I do talk about ways to help improve the efficacy of your medications, foods and drinks to avoid, and your different options for treatment once you get your ADHD diagnosis!

I want to remind everyone that I am not a doctor, nurse, psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, counselor, or pharmacist. I’m simply a grad student and mama with ADHD-C, and I want to make information about ADHD fun and accessible! If you have not been diagnosed with ADHD, none of my videos are meant to be diagnostic.
