Ayy this sounds like my origins story! Starting dose of 64mg of Concerta and I never felt well or could sleep. Gained weight which my parents shamed me for (nice). Since they expected me to grow out of ADHD at 18, I stopped meds and raw dogged it until my early 30s. Check my post history for how that went.
Mine was 45mg methylphenidate (as ritilin) time release in the morning and 15mg after school. For a total daily dose of 55mg, (which is more than the 35mg max daily dose they’d give me now as an adult, and way more than the 18mg I actually take occasionally). I was 90lbs until I started cheeking it at 11-12, and got punished both for not eating dinner AND for “stealing” food from the fridge at 11pm when it all finally wore off and I got desperately hungry (also for cheeking the pills but that’s its own problem). Thanks for the food issues, fam. They work so well that living with people makes me feel guilty in my own house!
Sorry we both dealt with shit.
This unlocked a core memory of me sneaking down to the pantry at 11pm-1:00am when I was hungry too! My parents would sometimes catch me and that was a whole performance. I had forgotten about all that. Crazy how similar people's experiences are. Fortunately we're both out of those situations now
