Medication and ADHD: options, effects and alternatives
ADHD Medication : long-term risks & what the research says

Many people have concerns about the long-term effects of ADHD medication - how does it impact brain health, growth, heart health and even fertility?

In this session, we’ll break down the latest research on stimulants and non-stimulants, addressing key questions about addiction risk, cardiovascular effects and potential links to conditions like Parkinson’s and dementia.

We’ll also explore how ADHD medication may affect sperm health and long-term well-being. Whether you’re currently taking medication or considering it, this session will provide an evidence-based discussion to help you make informed decisions.

In this session, we’ll dive into ADHD medication options, covering both stimulants and non-stimulants, and explore how they work by influencing neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine.

We’ll discuss the pros and cons, side effects, and tips for working with healthcare providers to find the right dosage and formulation for your needs.

Beyond medication, we’ll discuss complementary approaches like exercise, diet and mindfulness, offering a holistic view of ADHD treatment.
Join us to gain a better understanding of medication mechanisms, personalized options, and tools to support focus and productivity.

Plus, we offer free body doubling to provide accountability and motivation as you work through tasks in real time. Whether you're stuck starting or finishing a project, this session will give you the tools you need to overcome procrastination and boost productivity.

Whether you're new to these topics or looking to deepen your understanding, this session offers valuable insights for anyone interested in optimizing their mental health.
Learn about the anatomical and biochemical basis of ADHD in a fun and interactive way.

Link for the zoom, will be visible at 7 pm on this page.
Cameras must be ON (at least initially) or you will be refused entry to the meeting.
Safeguarding is our topmost priority and we ask all participants to respect the communication space. Please genuinely participate in a pure friendly intention that promotes meaningful discussion.

The internet does have some problems and we are no different, we sometimes get trolled by young hackers who want to cause distraction with “their humour”. We ask that you set up your name before you join the zoom - to be the same as your Meetup name so we can cross reference your zoom name with your Meetup name.

We will not let you in if we do not find the cross reference and we leave you in the waiting room until we can verify who you are.
