@Heather 👻 That's not really the point. The things they claim the meds DO NOT help with are literally the things they do help with, regardless of how much.
I kinda disagree because this is one of those subtle differences things and kinda understanding things aren't that clean-cut. I dunno i'm fricken tired tonight.
@Ailbhe So the thing with ADHD-PI is that it's increasingly thought it might actually be something else called CDS (Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome), which is heavily comorbid with ADHD.
I know a couple of people in mu circle with ADHD-PI and the meds ... don't do for them what they do for everyone else I know with ADHD, who are all ADHD-C.
But their experience of things like RSD and emotional dysregulation is far weaker than mine too.
The meds definitely help a LOT mind you, they just don't fix everything, possibly because those things aren't ADHD things - I wasn't unreliable in those areas before meds either.
yeah that's a big one in my life. Making someone else bleed repeatedly would be way higher on my priority avoids instincts than making myself bleed repeatedly.

in reply to Ailbhe • •@Ailbhe They don't really have much of an effect on things like context dependent recall for me, nor time blindness (except sometimes; that's weird).
I recall a conversation between us on Bsky where you seemed baffled by the context dependent recall thing, specifically re cupboard doors?
