▲ 5 r/ADHDUK

So I was due to have a meds review with my ADHD nurse from ADHD360 today, however I missed the call (waiting for her to call back).

Apparently she's going to suggest a shared care agreement with my GP, which is great and makes sense given my 60mg Elvanse has been pretty stable for a couple months now. I tried 70mg but it felt too intense.

However I don't think I'm always great at recognising when Elvanse is wearing off and/or if a small booster dose could be useful.

How should I know? Are there any signs to look for that would suggest trying a booster? How likely are ADHD360 RTC to agree to one?

Usually I take meds no later than 11am, I try and take it with decent amount of protein & keep hydrated throughout the day. My sleep isn't great but I'm working on it (not an Elvanse thing though).

Even with taking it at 11, I can typically feel tired, drained & not as motivated to work by around 5-ish. By 7-8pm it definitely doesn't feel as effective and I’d say it’s probably stopped working by then.

Should I ask for a booster? Has anyone been in similar situations? How have you found it? Thanks.
