  • I like the idea of having a morning coffee again (I did a couple of days on the 30 and just took the dose a bit later), which made my mornings feel a bit more relaxed…

    Getting the timing right is a bit tricky as my workday can vary but that’s something I will (hopefully) get better at over time…

    Do you have any issues taking a break? I have been wondering if skipping a day or two would be a bad idea once I’m settled in a bit, although if I get the dose right maybe I won’t feel that need.



  • It could be exhaustion. I tried having a much higher protein breakfast this morning (ended up with a hot Huel meal in the end) and I didn’t feel quite as zombie-ish today but I still think everything is a bit too muted on this dose.

    I still have a few days of the 50mg left and then I’m due to go up to 60, with my follow up with the doc next week.







  • I just recently had my assessment with ADHD360 - I had picked them because at the time they had the shortest waiting list (although my GP was slow so I was delayed…)

    I found the whole process quite smooth. Some online assessments and questionnaires, and an input for health data (height/weight BP,HR) - they sent me a home blood pressure machine for this.

    The assessment itself was something I had been stressing over but my assessor was friendly, and anytime I got stuck he would ask a probing or clarifying question which was very useful.

    Best of luck!




  • I was not aware the share codes last that long now, the last time I used one (for work, although this was several years ago) it was only valid for 4 days and my employer refused to accept it which was a whole thing. I was under the (incorrect) impression that the system for border clearance would be worse than that. So I have changed my mind on this point despite your flippant comment, which was argumentative for no reason.

    On the case of trusting the UK government to manage the immigration status digitally for people I still have my doubts. They don’t have the best track record.

    I have my own UK passport now so I am a bit out of the loop but any sort of system where a person doesn’t have offline proof of their status that they can keep seems like it is open to issues (although physical only also has its issues so there are pros and cons no matter how you approach it).



  • I don’t quite understand why you are dismissing this person’s concerns like this. The codes are available for a very short period so there is a chance that if there is a WiFi or other network outage they genuinely could not get to the code.

    It’s also not as though the UK has the best record when it comes to managing immigrants despite their promises.

    You are welcome to do a quick google on what happened to Windrush immigrants, the trouble that EU immigrants have had post-brexit, and UKVI’s general rules, wait times, and fees. Much like the US, the UK’s immigration policy has been made highly hostile to many forms of immigration, limiting options for families and managing to bungle things at several junctures.

    I agree that it is hard to put faith in a system like this where your immigration status relies on the availability of a network or even a single government site with no physical or offline backups.
