I’m on day 9 of moujarno and have had zero interest in coffee when I used to drink - with apparently zero effect - two full four person coffee pots of esspress for breakfast (the equivalent of about eight espressos) and then another couple of pots through the day. I am unmedicated ADHD and it is very common to 'self medicate' with coffee (which makes me calmer rather than jittery).
.i thought I'd google this Apparently moujarno - or more specifically GLP-1 helps modulate the dopamine receptors - and poor dopamine pathways are what defines adhd - and so an unintended by product of this drug is that that this sort of stimulant craving caused by poor dopamine receptivity has gone. mounarno is being investigated now as a possible treatment for ADHD because of its effects on dopamine, impulse control, blood sugar and executive function.
And sure enough, before I read this or even thought s out this, I got up with apparent ease and did two hours work before 8.30am which is really unheard of!
I find this amazing. I don’t take normal ADHD meds as I don’t like them - they effect feels alien in my brain. But this feels very different. I still feel like me.
