Hi all,
38 year old adher here, got diagnosed two years ago. Started on 18mg 1 tablet per day slow release concerta yesterday, and while my mind is calmer, physically my god - I am feeling wired.
I’ve never had too much physical hyperactivity with adhd, I fidget a lot and keep busy but I’m not someone who would ever appear physically hyper if you get me. The way I am feeling now is exactly how I felt when I had an overactive thyroid minus the anxiety. Took two hours to get to sleep last night and I awoke at 5am!
the benefits are I absolutely smashed a run today and I do feel my head is clearer, but I know I couldn’t sustain this physical feeling. It’s like panic adrenaline without the anxiety. Very odd. I just feel wired physically.
Any advice? I’ve read this could be just my body adjusting. Heart isn’t racing or anything so not in danger.
not sure what to do. Keen for shared experiences.
