When Your Brain Is The Butt Of The Joke: SNLs Sunday Supper Sketch
It is not a reflection on loneliness, but it reinforces what CAUSES loneliness.

Fair enough. I used to think the lengths of his episodes were insane.
Now I appreciate that he takes the time to be thorough and, his "shorts" clips notwithstanding, doesn't pander to short attention spans or the dumbing down of science.
I feel like reactions like yours are more of a reflection of your own experience in academia than anything to do with #Huberman himself.
Are there any others who elicit the same reaction?

CW: ADHD (AuDHD) meds - positive
Had follow-up with ADHD med provider earlier today. Went very positively.
Sticking with split dose of lisdexamfetamine (Elvanse) at 40 mg then 20 mg (~2 hours apart) daily.
Increasing guanfacine (Intuniv) dose from 4 mg to 5 mg nightly.
The imbalanced lisdex dose is helping more with giving us more of a morning boost, whilst letting us wind down faster in the evenings.
The guanfacine is continuing to help with RSD and baseline anxiety. Also counteracts the increased heart rate and blood pressure of the lisdex.
The meds aren't a miracle fix for everything AuDHD related, but they make it possible to function during continued burnout... and that's saying something.

CW: Meds (ADHD/AuDHD) - switching split dose from 2 equal doses to 1 larger and 1 smaller dose
We've been on a split dose of lisdexamfetamine (Elvanse) daily for a while now. This has involved 2 x 30 mg doses, typically between 90 to 120 mins apart.
As of today, at our request, we're trialling a split dose where we start with 40 mg, then follow that with 20 mg within the same approximate time window.
The hope is that this will help give us a little bit more of a quicker boost to focus in the morning, whilst giving us a bit more of a drop-off in the evening.
We're also still on guanfacine prolonged release (Intuniv) nightly alongside the lisdexamfetamine, which has honestly been fantastic for us as an AuDHD entity with intense anxiety and RSD. We're currently on 4 mg of this night, but hoping to increase it to 5 mg soon.
Based on our own research and experience, somewhere between 4 and 6 mg should be ideal. 5 or 6 mg will likely be the sweet spot.
Per previous posts we've done, it took a lot of persuasion and self-advocation to convince our UK ADHD healthcare provider to even let us have a split dose of lisdexamfetamine, let alone convincing them to prescribe a combo of complementary meds, since both are unlicensed (aka off-label).
If you want to do the same, we recommend preparing links to articles or resources showing:
- The benefits of a split dose.
- The benefits of a combo of meds.
- The known interactions between such meds, such as via a drugs interaction checker.
You should be prepared to:
- Be advised that they may need to discuss this further, rather than agreeing immediately.
- Be told that they can only make one change to your medication at a time.
- Advise them in detail why you are making this request, from a neurodivergent and mental health / wellbeing point of view.
If you're asking for a combination with guanfacine, you may need to traumadump / mental-health-dump (after asking for consent) in order to persuade them to trial the meds.
It's not easy, and you'll need to be as kind as possible at all times to get them on your side, but it is possible to get what you need if you get an empathetic and caring clinician.
The above might sound manipulative, but this is what self-advocation can look like sometimes. It's a mixture of letting the mask slip a bit to be emotionally honest, employing rhetorical techniques, and being kind and polite at all times.
It's not easy, even if you're good at all of those things.
You can always request permission for an advocate on any calls or appointments with you to help.

CW: Query for other folks on extended-release ADHD stimulant meds
Hey lovelies :ADHD_Butterfly:
We started on stimulant meds earlier this year to help with some of our ADHD struggles. We're currently on:
- 1 x 50 mg lisdexamfetamine (Elvanse®) on waking
- ~10-14 hours duration of action
- 1 x 10 mg dexamfetamine (Amfexa®) between 15:00 to 16:00 daily, as a boost
- ~4-6 hours duration of action
We've heard of some folks taking their meds as a split dose.
In theory, we could ask our GP to prescribe our lisdex dose across 2 capsules, with an aim to taking 1 on waking and 1 at lunch, whilst skipping the dexam booster.
Any personal experiences of doing this? (Only personal testimonials please.)
Not sure if we'd need to go with the same total lisdex dose (30 mg and 20 mg capsules) or request a small dose adjustment as well in line with not taking the dexam (2 x 30 mg capsules).
Thoughts before we reach out to anyone to ask to try about this?
Bonus question:
Anyone had any luck with getting GP to prescribe something like guanfacine alongside stimulant meds to help with RSD?#ADHD #AuDHD #RSD #lisdexamfetamine #dexamfetamine #Elvanse #Amfexa #neurospicy #neurodivergent #GenuinelyAsking #AskFedi

CW: Misfile: Hell High - spoilers for 2 most recent comics; normality and weirdness; neurodivergent parallels
Feeling a little called out by Nil from Misfile: Hell High in last couple of comics 😅
Nil: ... I just want to script out some arguments for next time somebody calls me a nothing girl. So far I've only got two.
Aiden: What have you got?
Nil: Well, first call me a nothing girl.
Aiden: Okay. Um, "hi, nothing girl".
Nil: Hi! I'm normal! Do you want to be my friend?! ... Needs work.Aiden: Nil, if you're really going to do this, I don't think a prepared list of statements is going to work. It's just going to seem weird... Weird-ER. You can't tell someone you're normal. That in itself ISN'T normal. You have to show them. It takes times.
Nil: Is that what you think I should do?As somebody& who's scripted conversations and essentially created flowcharts and rules in their mind on how to appear "normal" to most people, and who didn't even truly realise what masking was until relatively recently (within the last 5-10 years), this hits hard 😅

TIL about #otroverts and thank my lucky stars.
Throughout our lives, our social conditioning reinforces the one immutable cultural principle in our society: that group membership is a prerequisite for a rich and rewarding life. And while this is true for many people, it is not true for otroverts.
We put so much stock in communality that a different stance is understood as pathology. Otroverts are perceived as weird and wrong for preferring solitude over socialising, and subjected to peer pressure from well-meaning people who genuinely desire their companionship or who would hate for them to “miss out” on all the fun. What these people fail to realise is that for otroverts, there is great freedom and fulfilment in sitting on the sidelines.
