Anyone else's ADHD better on glp-1?

Wow, that's amazing news, can't wait for my husband to get going too but his coverage has been dragging its feet. Fingers crossed it does something for his adhd side of things, since that's never been formally diagnosed for him.

Have ADHD and had to reduce my stimulant medication, down to half the minimum dose, and considering switching to a lower alternative for occasional use only. Turns out mounjaro's been a genuinely welcome surprise for that condition, mind feels quieter, focus comes easier.

This medication made me realize I likely have adhd. Got officially diagnosed just last week. Never noticed how loud my thoughts were until this quieted things down for me.

Had something similar happen with my ADHD, felt sharper and more refined within the first hour. Unfortunately that intense hyperfocus clarity has faded for me now, though I've been on this four years at this point.

Personally, a stimulant medication does a noticeably stronger job suppressing appetite than a weekly injection ever has. Feel it kick in and hold for hours, keeps focus solid at work. Skip that medication for a tolerance break and food noise spikes hard, real effort's needed to avoid overeating in that stretch. But because of the injection too, there's a higher baseline fullness level, so it's not quite as brutal.

Unfortunately landed among the unlucky group that actually gained weight on stimulants over the years across a few different ones tried. Thyroid and a couple other conditions known for weight gain don't help either. Progress has crawled along at a discouraging pace, but still grateful this is the first year without any gain at all. Moving up to the next dose level this month.

Good luck!

Two days in, my mind felt strangely calm and the inner critic went quiet. Four months on Wegovy: 30 pounds off, a big lift in mood and a real ability to focus. The phrase liquid willpower gets used for this drug, and it fits. Silencing the food roar in my skull changed my life as much as the pounds lost. Miracle drug for me, Im staying on it for good.

ADHD and GAD both apply to me, each with meds. I haven't seen any effect, good or bad, in about a year on semaglutide. That's only my own experience, so check in with your physician if anything shifts.
