I was diagnosed with ADHD in September 2025 and have autistic traits but no diagnosis. I’m 48. Had a hysterectomy six weeks ago and am on estrogen patches.
I have been taking Xaggitin 54 mg and I do get stuff done which is great. But I get a lot of headaches and as someone with lifelong migraine that’s not great as they can then go on to trigger that. I also get worried by realising just how much my heart is racing and done ’t like it.
Has anyone tried non stimulant based ADHD meds? What did you think to them? How do they feel? Appreciate it’s a different experience for everyone etc. But at £180 for a 30 min appt I’d like to see what else there is out there…
If there is anything I’m not thinking about please do tell me. I’m right at the start of this and am open to different approaches! Thank you.
