At the age of 16 I was told I had one of the worst cases of ADHD my psychiatrist had ever seen. I left feeling so confused. Had I always been that way?
I was prescribed Adderall and sent on my way. Just like that. I was handed a stimulant drug. One that compares so insanely close to methamphetamine. I took one pill and instead of experiencing the “regulated calm” I was told I would, I became even more fidgety and felt like I needed to run away from myself. So I did. I ran 15 miles that night. I couldn’t stop. My body was shaking, I was dizzy and didn’t sleep for two days. I had never felt so out of control, scared or helpless in my life. I never touched Adderall again.
I was left with the question of why? What caused my ADHD? For over a decade I navigated my condition unmedicated just getting by until I learned the significant connection between my gut and my ADHD. Join me to learn more about what completely changed my whole world.
