I love your explanation of your heart rate going up right before you felt calm and focused. The first few months of my son taking vyvanse, he would have one very emotional, crying meltdown shortly before it started working and helping him focus. It was so bizarre to me but perhaps his heart rate was going up. He has now been on vyvanse for 2-3 years and absolutely loves it. He had tried other stimulants before and didn’t like them at all. Now, he reminds me to get his vyvanse out for him if I don’t have it sitting out when he eats breakfast. He says they keep him calm, focused, less anxiety, and he’s able to get deep into his special interests and interact with friends much better.
I love Jazz' calming box. Great idea to keep clear boxes with visuals. Im happy you feel calm. Awesome video. I've been wanting to get assessed most recently. I'm in the process of this. It is very costly, that's for sure. I've been trying other alternatives to aid my brain and decided to try Neurofeedback. I've had 10 sessions of Neurofeedback, which has helped a lot with the functioning of my brain and being to complete more tasks than I was able to before, less anxiety. The psychologist that I go to for sessions has been practising for over 30 years, and she is very busy. If you want any details you can ask me. What is neurofeedback therapy? Neurofeedback is a non-invasive treatment that encourages the brain to develop healthier patterns of activity. The goal of treatment is not only to change how you think and feel but also to change your brain on a biological level for better functioning. In other words, you can see your brain activity changing in a healthier way. It's long-term results.
I've tried Dexedrine and Adderall in my high school years, but most recently I've been on Strattera and currently Concerta. My psychiatrist explains ADHD as a radio picking up on multiple frequencies at once, then the med gets you tuned into the right station. Another one I like is that for NTs, stimulants will crank up their gas pedal, while us NDs get our brakes tuned up.

Really interesting to hear your perspective.
Glad you enjoyed it!

I love that analogy! explains it well
I am glad you are caring for yourself. Just a thought. Medications usually take weeks to kick in. With that said, I'm not familiar with that .
ADHD meds are pretty immediate
Adderall definitely makes my appetite horrible. I forget to drink. I’m not hungry. It’s a bad side effect.
I have ADHD and autism I take Intuniv. When I took Stratera it made my heart rate go up
oh I've heard that can happen!
Is this the only ADHD Med you are trying or have you tried other ones.
I take Adderall for my ADHD.
I wonder if this is something I could try.
I’ve tried dex amphetamines for my ADHD but it got way too addictive so I had to stop
oh thats interesting
