@catieosaurus: in other news the sky is blue, grass is green, and maybe capitalism isn't working out so hot #adhdinwomen #latediagnosisadhd #MentalHealth #womenwithadhd
Who would’ve guessed ignoring 50% of the population would have an effect!?! On the population not being researched?! 😀 Nobody.

Ok… since it’s going to take 5 more decades to do anything with this info… what are we doing in the meantime? Talking to our doctors about varying dosage levels with cycles? Despite this info being V OBVIOUS… I hadn’t thought about trying to do anything about it. lol

I will literally DONATE MYSELF TO SCIENCE if these people care about learning ANYTHING about perimenopause and ADHD cause I’m going INSANE

"hormonal fluctuations" are too difficult in drug studies and thus excluded. It throws off the results.

too pretty to be autistic and too smart to be ADHD 😭 I tried to get diagnosed but the doctor told me because I had good grades and wasn't a disruptive student TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, and I hadn't interrupted him once, COULDN'T have ADHD

My wise daughter said “just because I got things done without a diagnosis doesn’t mean they weren’t 100x more difficult than they needed to be”- I was diagnosed on my 50th birthday

Welp. Wasn’t diagnosed until full menopause, and yet I SWEAR that for about a week plus every month my stimulant meds just don’t work. I’m on HRT for Pete’s sake. I take the same same on the daily and NOT MENSING. How does this work? Ugh.

So, my ADHD might contribute to why I also have PMDD?
Because the symptoms and cycle timing fit.

And, since the US has banned words like "Woman" from research, I guess that anything that was in the works, in the US on this subject, will never be published. 🤦♀️

with my debilitating period, and the hormone crash of the leuteal phase, I only have 4-6 days every month that I feel somewhat able to function. it's exhausting

my husband asked me what was wrong last week and I responded "I don't know if I was to drive my car off the dam or if my period is coming in 3 days" he thought I was joking

If you haven’t yet, read Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado-Perez. It is all about how men, or male presenting people, are the default literally everything.

Certain luteal and menstrual days require 2-3x the meds for a similar effect

I wonder if dosing the meds to concur with the menstrual cycle would be better. Kind of like how we take different doses of birth control on different weeks. 🤔

My cycle is a nightmare (very likely PMDD), and I’ve learned so much more from neurodivergent TikTok than I ever have from a doctor. I don’t know what I’d do without the advice and info I’ve learned from people here.

I'll never forget when my doctor told me it was impossible for my period to affect my ADHD or how well my medication worked

There’s those of us who were mostly able to mask until we had a child or perimenopause, then everything fell apart and it’s almost impossible to mask and it feels like everything is 🔥
