Do you notice differences in ADHD symptoms as your hormones fluctuate?

Do you notice differences in ADHD symptoms as your hormones fluctuate? - Lemmy.World

I’m directing this question to all women, not just cisgender ones or ones that menstruate. My understanding is that we all can experience hormonal fluctuations during the month, for some it’s just more predictable or obvious than others. Hormone therapy can have this effect too for our trans sisters. Curious what you notice, if anything.

YES. Sometimes the meds feel like they’re not working as well. I do take birth control (the kind with placebo pills added), but I’m not sure how it affects me.

Regardless, the flux still happens, and it’s been driving me up the wall trying to establish a pattern.

So much this. I wish I could discover a predictable pattern so I can at least know I’m not a complete idiot on those days, and it’s just hormones acting up. Definitely during PMS, but I feel like there are other times in the cycle, too.
