hyper...anxiety?? in the morning???? after meds???!!

Sorry for that corny title fam... anyway For some time now, I have noticed that after taking medication early in the morning, my anxiety becomes unbearable. I wondered if it was due to a too high dosage of the medication or drinking coffee with it (don't do that), so I tried taking the medication before bed, but it generated even more intense anxiety and lack of sleep since 4:30 in the morning... The solution was right in front of my nose... The cortisol level in the body is highest in the MORNING, right after waking up (the body does this to help itself wake up and start the day), so by taking medication very early or right before sleep, I was hitting the peak of cortisol release 🤡 In the next few days, I will try taking my medication closer to noon and see if the anxiety becomes more bearable. It's a struggle fam, ngl

ADHD meds? Amazing. I can tune in and focus on one thing, catch myself when hyper-fixated, I can just do stuff!

UPDATE - no anxiety! I felt a little bit uneasy when the meds hit but nothing like the past few mornings. I think it's a hack, fam!

Ok, so I skipped coffee till 9 am - no anxiety. Just took Concerta 36mg after a big breakfast, and I will update you in an hour on how it's going. Oh and I didn't take meds before bed and slept till 7:30 am 🫶🏻
