My ADHD-blog

How I feel

Today was pretty good again.
If I think ADHD related.
Because I did not have any rush or stress feeling in a extreme way.
So that was good.

Complains/side effects:

The same as the last days.
Although I forget to mention a few.
Now when I was walking with our dog in the woods,
I was thinking about side effects that I forgot to write down.

I normally have as side effects: Dry mouth
Tiredness (although that is getting better lately)
Pain in the stomach ( when I don't eat enough before I take Strattera)
Problems with toilet going ( urinating)
Bad mood problems ( sometimes a very extreme bad day, without reason)

I can't think of any more now, but I'm sure I forgot something.

ADHD effects

The same as the last weeks, so I wont repeat that again.

For people with ADHD, like me for example, it is important to reduce the
use of sugar as much as you can.
There are many stories about the fact that sugar is a danger for your health.
For me it's a fact, not just a story.
Since I reduce the use of sugar and also of addetives like colors ( on product labels announced with codes like
E310 etc) I felt a big difference, I became calmer.
Although it was not enough, it was nice to feel the difference.
But when I looked for alternative products, without sugar I could hardly find anything.
Because most already done food products that has no sugar has aspartame instead.
But aspartame is allot worse then sugar. That's why I really don't like it when they try to make people
believe that sugarfree products are better for your health!


Don'tbe fooled by the food industrie! sugarfree products (can be) even more dangerous for your health then products with sugar! This is because they use aspartame instead of sugar.


The companies who produce products with aspertame instead of sugar want to make you
believe that their product is better for your health! That's a BIG lie!

I'm not just saying that because I think so.
In the last years many scientists in different countries has proven in independent studies
that aspertame is not only bad for your health in general, they even mention it as a cause for cancer.
And many other serious health complains!
So not because of my sake, but of your own health sake: BOYCOT products with aspartame!

You can read more about aspartame and why it is so dangerous at the blog from Sepp Hasselberger.
He also gives allot of links to articles about the research what is done on aspartame.

How I feel


Pretty good today.
I had forgotten Strattera in the morning, so it was not earlier then
15.00 hours before I took them.
But it was ok. I had a pretty good day today.

Complains/side effects

The normal ones:
Dry mouth, weak in the legs, but less then usual.
And what I forget to mention before is that I have also problems with
going to the toilet. Not so bad though.
If I have to take a leak, then I can not always do it.
This is because I'm driving a car when I'm working as a security guard.
So when I finally do go, then it is hard to get 'it' out.
No pain or anything like that, so I survive.

ADHD effects

Well the same as the days before, less hunted and stressed feelings.
But still quickly irritated etc and hard to concentrate and a chaos in my head.
But what else is new, right? ;-)
