Ever feel like your ADHD meds are supposed to bring order to your brain, but instead, they’re triggering outright rage? You aren't alone. In this episode, we dive into the "Adderall Rage" phenomenon and why stimulants can sometimes backfire.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The Neurochemistry of Rage: How dopamine and norepinephrine can trigger a "fight or flight" response if the dose is too high.

  • The "Crash" Effect: Why the amygdala becomes highly reactive when medication wears off.

  • The Masking Effect: How stimulants can hide hunger, thirst, and exhaustion, leading to a "physical threat" response from your brain.

  • Practical Tips: How to track your moods and what "clean data" to bring to your doctor.
