Details Matter:
The Meds Don’t Work Long Enough: The Duration of Effectiveness [DOE] is not adequate: Each stimulant drug, each family of stimulant drugs has its own expected DOE. This DOE is not discussed in the literature as a measuring tool, but it’s common knowledge with any who watches carefully for drug action and duration throughout the day.

All stimulant medications have an expected, less than 24 hr duration. Duration is an obvious point but is overlooked so often as an essential tool. If meds last less than 24 hr, then how long should each last? Dialing in the particular duration is necessary to get the best action out of each specific med. [AMP=Amphetamine Family, MPH=Methylphenidate Family]

Vyvanse [AMP] and Daytrana [MPH patch] both win the DOE race with 12-14 hr expected as optimum.

Adderall XR [AMP] is next with 8 hr DOE — sometimes can get 10, but often more DOE is too much – out the top of the Therapeutic Window: w

Concerta [MPH] and Focalin [MPH] both run 8 hr if dialed in effectively – some studies show longer, my experience: more than 10 hr with either of these is too much — see other articles on the ‘Top of the Window.’

Metadate CR [MPH] and Ritalin LA [MPH] are both right at 8 hr, rarely longer, with side effects, if pushing the dose higher

The Immediate Release Stimulants, the tablets with no extended time
expected, last only a portion of the day with Adderall IR [AMP]
[Immediate Release Tabs] lasting about max 5 hr, Ritalin IR [MPH] is 4-hour max duration.

Details on expected DOE for each stimulant: /

There was a time in my life when I was completely debilitated by anxiety. Fortunately, I have put in a lot of work over the years and studied to understand neurochemically what was happening to me when anxiety would step in to ruin the day. In this Q & A, I am answering 6 common questions about anxiety and laying out the exact process I use and the logic you’ll need to start mastering your own anxiety with time and effort. I remember how hopeless I felt and I now know how simple and effective some of these tips are to put into practice. Action cures all and the sooner you implement these tips the sooner you can start to feel superhuman and reach your true potential.

SHOW NOTES:
Rehearsing Failure | Tom on why rehearsing failure of what hasn’t happened is [3: 07]
Breaking Cycle | 2 steps to beat anxiety with a pattern interrupt and & empower thought [7: 32]
Physical Adrenaline | Tom’s experience changing his neuro chemistry with meditation [10: 11]
Breathing | Returning to total calm in 45 minutes or less with diaphragmatic breathing [16: 42]
Social Anxiety | Pattern interrupt & focus on your goal, what others think can’t stop you [21: 01]
Generalized Anxiety | Having many triggers for anxiety and anxiety outside of the norm [25: 14]
Anxiety Benefit | Tom explains how mild anxiety can be useful but still gets checked [30: 46]
Physical Tension | When your body gets wired to mental negativity and holds tension [32: 39]


QUOTES:
“We want to use the empowering thoughts as mental jujitsu.” [24: 00]

“You will become whatever you repeat.” [24: 42]

“because I'm not a born entrepreneur, getting into business was this incredibly anxiety provoking endeavor, the stakes were so high, I felt like I was constantly on stage” [26: 12]

“I started saying to myself, ‘let failure surprise you’. So when I succeed, I'm never surprised because I've rehearsed the shit out of success.” [28: 45]

“I started rehearsing success, and I just said, I'm going to let failure take me totally by surprise if it ever happens” [29: 44]

“failure is the most information rich data stream in the world.” [33: 32]

This is part one in a series of videos talking about managing ADHD symptoms with medication. Because ADHD can be thought of as a disorder of executive functioning so understanding this is an important lead in to making behavioral changes.

Executive function is a set of cognitive or thinking skills that are responsible for
• Planning, organizing and prioritizing
• initiating actions
• Self-inhibition
• Self-monitoring your behavior
• being able to shift your attention between tasks
• Working memory

The control for your executive functions occur in the frontal part of your brain that includes the frontal lobes and other structures such as the basal ganglia which are further down from the lobes. Executive function is also controlled by your pre-frontal cortex.

There are many conditions that could impair your executive functioning. Some of these are depression and a traumatic brain injury. A traumatic brain injury occurs when you have an injury to your head that disrupts your brain tissue. Alcohol temporarily impairs executive functioning. And if you have a stroke that occurs in the frontal part of your brain, you can have trouble with some of these functions.

The stimulant medications like Ritalin and Adderall used to treat ADHD work to increase dopamine in the pre-frontal cortex. But even with medication, many people are still left with difficulties managing some of these functions. Cognitive behavior therapy focuses on managing some of these executive skills.

Want to know more about mental health and self-improvement? On this channel I discuss topics such as bipolar disorder, major depression, anxiety disorders, attention deficit disorder (ADHD), relationships and personal development/self-improvement. I upload weekly. If you don’t want to miss a video, click here to subscribe.
