Like most folks with ADHD I have some spares for situations like the recent shortage.
Every so often it seems like the pill isn’t really doing it’s job. I start to wonder if I’m building up a tolerance, and need to ask for an increased dosage, and then suddenly I’m doing fine again.
Well, I was going through that recently, and I realized I just switched to my newest bottle. Now it feels just as strong, if not stronger than it used to be. As it happens, I tend to have some spares from days I forget and whatnot, so it’s been maybe 2 weeks. That also means this last bottle was over month old, too. I wish I could remember if I’d just changed to the new bottle the last time this happened too.
I’m using Walgreens, and the shape of the pill changed last month, so maybe there’s a different formulation? I just keep going through this feast and famine of medication efficacy, and Itd be nice to know if this is a problem I can actually solve without going to a higher dosage. Idk, maybe I’ll keep them in the fridge while Im not using them or something.
Do you have menstrual cycles? If so, keep track of when your meds are ineffective and compare against the dates of your cycle. I find mine much less effective in the second half of my cycle when my body has more progesterone (which, for me, seems to be the hazy-spacey-lazy hormone).
