In this episode of Glitchy Switch, I share what ADHD medication actually felt like for me on day one — not as a miracle story, but as a real, human account of the subtle shifts, the unexpected calm, and the very noticeable “wear off” later in the day.
If you’re newly diagnosed with adult ADHD and wondering what a medication like methylphenidate might feel like, I walk you through the first few hours — from that first hint of space and choice, to the moment I realised just how much effort I’d been spending my whole life just to keep up.
In this episode:
What it felt like when the medication actually kicked in.
The first “differences” I felt when it did.
The paradox of taking a stimulant yet feeling placid.
What side effects showed up for me and what didn’t.
What it felt like when the drugs wore off.
