I know there’s a lot of posts about this but I can’t find any specifically for those only on Dex.

I started my adhd med journey at the start of this year and finally managed to work out my med dose and timing… but only for 3/4 of the month. I am still completely lost during my luteal phase/ period.

My Dr just said to play around and see what works but I feel like I could spend months doing that. Just wanted an idea of what others do?

I seem to generally have a sensitive nervous system when it comes to the drop off from my last dose. If I don’t get the dose/ timing right I can get the worst tension headache- sometimes for hours

My normal dose is:

-5mg Dex

-45 minutes later- another 5mg Dex

-3.5/4 hours later 5mg

*Depending on the length of my working day I may do another of the above

But my last dose of the day I try to make 2.5mg so I can get to sleep before stupid o’clock

One thing I notice is I need it earlier during my cycle as it wears off quicker, closer to 3hours
