Last Update on Concerta (for a while)
#ASMR
If you’ve been recently diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, this update is for you. 🤍
In today’s video, I’m sharing my latest ADHD medication update after my follow-up appointment with my psychiatrist — including how 36mg of Concerta is actually working for me, what it’s not helping with, and a mindset shift that completely changed how I view motivation.
After 43 years unmedicated, I’m learning that ADHD medication isn’t a magic switch for motivation — it’s a tool for focus, concentration, and executive function.
We talk about:
✨ ADHD medication and concentration
✨ Executive dysfunction vs. “laziness”
✨ ADHD burnout and bad habits
✨ Why “activation creates motivation”
✨ Working from bed & building better routines
✨ Breaking long-term ADHD habits in baby steps
✨ Neurodivergent productivity struggles
✨ Concerta vs. Elvanse/Vyvanse experiences
One of the most powerful things my psychiatrist said to me was:
“Activation creates motivation.”
That completely reframed how I think about getting dressed, starting tasks, and building structure back into my life.
If you struggle with:
ADHD paralysis
Task initiation
Working from bed all day
Sleep schedule issues
Feeling behind in life after a late diagnosis
Wondering whether your ADHD meds are “working enough”
…you are absolutely not alone.
I also share:
How my focus at work (especially working in Excel all day) has improved
Why medication helps with concentration but not necessarily starting tasks
Small habit changes I’m implementing (like using a whiteboard & gradual exposure to working outside my bed)
My honest experience with long-term unmedicated ADHD
For anyone navigating adult ADHD, late diagnosis, ADHD medication adjustments, or rebuilding your life after burnout — I hope this helps you feel seen.
💊 Current medication: 36mg Concerta
