unmedicated ADHD, migraines and hormonal symptoms
Post Content
hey, everyone, i've been suffering with depression, PMDD and chronic migraines for a number of years and, at 31, i got diagnosed with adhd. i already took (and still take) duloxetine/cymbalta and tried also taking bupropione first, then atomoxetine. the thing is, they both seemed to make my migraines, anxiety and PMDD worse, so i talked to my doctor and stopped taking both of them. since then, we've been discussing the possibility of trying ritalin and/or concerta and, although it makes me really excited when i think of finally treating my adhd, i'm really scared that stimulants will make my migraines or my anxiety worse. did anyone here with migraines, PMDD or anxiety have a good experience with ritalin / concerta? i would love to hear your success stories, if there are any <3
