In this episode, I talk with Jeff Copper - ADHD & Attention Coach, we bring the Coaches’ point of view on ADHD medication.
- At first, Jeff simply explains the scientific facts behind the chemical reactions of our bodies when taking ADHD medications and he clarifies the side effects as well. He stresses the importance of taking the right drug, the right dose at the right time.
- Jeff and I, later on, have some fruitful discussions about the impacts of taking ADHD drugs and the impacts of NOT taking ADHD drugs and we shared our personal experience as both coaches and as people diagnosed with ADHD.
- Jeff highlights the great importance of education and making “well-informed” decisions based on self-awareness about personal ADHD needs.
- he shares some useful tips and techniques to articulate ideas to doctors or coaches especially writing your questions and concerns in a piece of paper.
- On the top of that, Jeff’s best advice is to adjust our expectations about ADHD drugs and create a balanced combination of medications and exercise when necessary.
- Jeff final words is to be patient, be wise to adjust and increase productivity and my final words are to make your decisions based on what you know and based on your reliable research not what you hear from media to manage your ADHD. Do your homework and understand your beautiful ADHD brain.
