A Dopamine Kick (ADHD Without the Filter)
Come with us as we navigate the mind-blowing, cluster f**k that is late-diagnosis ADHD. It’s messy, overwhelming, and sometimes makes no sense… but this is what happens when you give two people with ADHD a microphone and let them spiral.
We’re talking hyperfixations, random obsessions we swear are “the one”, the crashes, the chaos… and all the little moments that make you stop and think “why did I just do that?”
It’s all over the place, it rarely goes how you expect, and half the time it doesn’t make sense… but somehow, it’ll probably sound familiar.
There’s no structure, no perfect advice, and definitely no pretending we’ve got it all figured out. Just honest conversations about what ADHD actually feels like, the good, the bad, and everything in between… said exactly how it happens in our heads.
Because sometimes all it takes is hearing someone else say it out loud to realize you’re not broken… you’re not alone. Your brain just works differently.

59. Prozac (Fluoxetine) for ADHD and Anxiety (A Personal Review)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode we discuss the use of Fluoxetine (Prozac) for ADHD and Anxiety as Sparky tells us all about starting the medication and what impact it had.
Fluoxetine (Prozac) is an SSRI Anti Depressant medication prescribed for depression and anxiety based disorders. There is some emerging studies showing evidence to suggest it can help with ADHD symptoms too (although it is very small)
Sparky discusses the positive effects of Fluoxetine, the side effects, how he felt whilst on the medication, if it helped with his ADHD symptoms and anxiety!
Shell starts another dose of Concerta and so clearly before you know it the conversation turns into rambling on how feel about IKEA!
and.... back to meds!
PROZAC, CONCERTA AND IKEA!
