Hi all, I'm having problems with my meds. I take 5mg twice a day. I am ovulating and for some strange reason I can't concentate. For me I'm sensitive and during this time in my cycle I'm very very sensitive. To touch, smell, sight, etc. I think maybe this is why I'm more distracted. Do meds work more/less depending on a woman's cycle?

Yep, here a quote and the link for more info:
Hussey (1990) first addressed the issue of hormones and their relationship to ADD (ADHD) by noting that girls with ADD (ADHD) may have increasingly severe problems with the onset of puberty. He wrote that increased hormonal fluctuations throughout the phases of the menstrual cycle might result in increased symptomatology. Zametkin reports that girls show a decrease in cerebral glucose metabolism at puberty that is not seen in boys. This decrease is dependent on degree of physical (sexual) maturity and thus specific to sexual developmental stage rather than chronological age. Therefore, it only seems logical to look into the correlation between hormones particularly estrogen and ADD (ADHD) in women.

so how to you go about that then?

Some drs increase the ADD meds around that time.

My doctor upped my meds, I'm doing better. More stable less ups and downs or should I say focus and distractions ;)

I'm glad things are better.
