update I did NOT sleep!

The emotional regulation and the ability to sleep you're about to experience is unmatched. Welcome sister

maybe you already know (and idk what you're on specifically) but it took me much longer to figure this out than it ought to have: you cannot drink caffeine while taking the meds

It varies! I'm on Vyvanse and drink caffeine, but I don't have a lot (usually a mug of half-caf coffee or tea), and always wait 1-2 hours after taking my meds before caffeine time. I also checked my BP a lot when I first started to make sure it wasn't getting too high

Caffeine can interfere with the absorption of some meds and supplements so it's worth delaying coffee time if you're having issues with new meds

This is hard to do for us ADHD folks, but when newly trying meds, it's really helpful to take notes on: times you took them, when and what you ate, caffeine consumption, physical activity, and how you felt. Lots of ppl recommend taking ADHD meds with protein, for example. It's a lot to figure out!

Ohhhhh what the fuck?? But... fuck.
Is it like "you probably shouldn't" or "you absolutely must not" type of thing?

i tried for months to keep one real cup first thing in the morning, i ended up way over-energized during the day and rough sleep at night. i'm all decaf now.

Good to know! Was hoping to get a diagnosis this year so we'll see how that goes 😬

It makes me have heart palpitations and jacks my anxiety up when I do.

nillbewton.bsky.social•18 days ago

Shit, I'm anxious enough and get little flutters from time to time anyway.
Damn.

Well then you could be living my exact experience with meds plus caffeine cause SAME!

nillbewton.bsky.social•18 days ago

I'm just mainlining caffeine at the moment, sounds like meds on top might be REALLY interesting (or really bad) 🫠
