Do you have any thoughts on GLP-1s for ADHD? I have tried the stimulants (legally) without success, and am reluctant to try the non-stimulants since their success rate seems pretty poor and side effects seem worse.
I answered it a couple of places in this thread already, but the short answer is yes, and GLP1 is not usually a good way to core ADHD treatment.
However, if you tried stimulants without success, this would be my descending list of things that need to be sorted out:
- Have you tried multiple types of medication? A lot of people give up after 1 or 2 different types. But I have seen MANY people who get completely new lives, but only after the 5th type they tried that matched their biology.
- Do a diagnostic re-evaluation to make sure that one is not misdiagnosing ADHD (the most common confusion is anxiety and personality).
- Map out the life situation. Circumstances might be a stronger explanation of the situation than internal psychological vulnerabilities.
- Make sure that you get a blood-mirror (Norwegian concept) so you know you have proper absorption/amount in blood.
