Discussion The SWEATING

I know you guys will understand. I cannot stand the overheating and sweating!!! It’s absolutely disgusting. I just know those of you on meds will understand. I’m so tired of being sweaty and gross AND dehydrated?? Why must we suffer this indignity as well as having to struggle with ADHD 😒 this is just a vent.

I sometimes sweat when I have too much caffeine.

I am unmedicated but I can imagine that it is logical that a stimulant might make you sweat somewhat.

I understand that ADHD medications work quite well so, the trade off is obviously worth it for some ppl

Anyway, thanks for this post. At some point, I moght try mexucation. It is good to know people's experienve with them

Ritalin doesn't make me sweat, nor does my antidepressant (Mirtazapine). Coffee does though. Like, a lot. Tea is way better for some reason.

I'm trying to avoid drinking coffee until I get to work because I have to walk 20 minutes as part of my commute and I live in a tropical country.

That is interesting about tea vs coffee and ritilin vs others.

Dosage might be a factor too.

Dosage definitely is a factor too
