Maybe I don't have ADHD after all π€
ADHD is also connected with increased rates of obesity. While some forget to eat, others canβt stop eating in that never ending search for dopamine.
Sigh, not surprised.
Easy solution: just start smoking
i have the fat kid flavor of adhd where i eat all the time for the dopamines
what medicine are you on if you don't mind me asking?
currently none because my insurance says i need something called a "prior authorization" which means i have to spend hours playing phone tag with my doctor first π«
I am hoping that amphetamine salts will help me not be bored-hungry all the time and help with motivation to get to the gym regularly. I miss being healthy :[
I think it has to do with the medicine. I'm on a less common ADHD medication and I don't get like this. Unless I'm working for some reason π€·ββοΈ
I am assuming this is referring to medicated ADHD. Stimulates are often associated with decreased hunger. When I was on vyvanse I completely lost my sense of hunger and only went off my bloodsuger. Like "damn I feel dizzy and zombie like. Food time"
Aaah suddenly this makes a lot more sense, thanks for the clarification.
I'm undiagnosed (finally should get that done... π«£), so I have absolutely no experience with the medication.
I'm on Focalin and I can't relate so it probably is the medicine π
Late to this party, but I binge eat when Iβm off my meds.
I lost 45 lbs (~20 kilos) the first year I was on meds. Didnβt skip meals or anything - just stopped eating second whole meals after the first.
