Women’s monthly roller-coaster ride of hormones often causes ADHD symptoms to worsen towards the end of the cycle. I know that I need to take a higher dose of Concerta during my PMS week.

That roller-coaster ride gets even wilder during peri-menopause (where I am now) and menopause. I know that my symptoms (only diagnosed last year) do seem more severe than they were before. Or that may be partly because I’m more aware of them since the diagnosis.
