If someone of you have been following my posts, you’ll know I said that i probably can’t get stimulants due to a bad ticker. but i saw my GP yesterday, and while i was there, i asked her about whether my heart problem would stop me from being on stimulants, and she said no!

So hopefully when i see my psychiatrist, i will give him a copy of the holter monitor results, and hopefully he will be able to give me stimulants if he diagnoses me with ADHD!

      gotta get dx’d first. I have my computer test in a few weeks, then i will got for my follow-up, and hopefully get diagnosed. tbh, I’m not 100% sure i actually want stimulants. I had insomnia for 1.5 decades. i can’t go back to that. But it’s good to have the option available.

        Would ADHD meds cause insomnia? I have no idea, I thought the drug would be out of your system by bedtime, although if you’re anything like me and can’t sleep because you looked in the direction of a bag of coffee after 1pm, I’d imagine it’s very possible it could affect your sleep. And I agree that’s not something you’d want, perish the thought! Well best of luck to you!
