Anyone with ADHD/AuDHD LDN reducing the effect of medication? (For Neurotypicals, coffee/energy drinks?)
Hi I take Trazodone for sleep/depression and Adderal for ADHD/Depression.
- First few days I took LDN at night as directed (all doses between 1-1.5mg as I'm experimenting with dose) = Terrible insomnia for 3 days.
- I need sleep, so I adjusted, taking LDN mid-day/morning.(0.5-1mg) = Worked out well, I got the enegy boost and I didn't get a "drop" later in the day
- It's been 8 days, and it seems I'm not getting that insomnia/energy boost effect that I used to get. So I'll be taking LDN closer to 7pm again.
My question to you guys. Have you seen LDN affect your ADHD meds (or other stimulant's) in anyway? I took my 7mg mid day booster Adderal today + 0.5mg LDN. in 30 mins (as Addderal hit) I felt great, then in 45+ mins I felt slow, out of it, like 1 eye half open. My body wasn't "tired" but I almost felt like I'd taken 1/2 a Benadryl. Just couldn't focus, slow, not motivated. Which i can only assume came from the LDN.
Is any of this sounding familiar to you guys? This stuff is strange there's like 2 affects to it. At 1st you get the rush and then you get a drop. I feel like if I took MORE LDN, like 2mg instead of 0.5mg, I would get that energizing affect again. But I don't want to do that mid day.
