Anyone notice their ADHD symptoms getting worse after a round of antibiotics? I just came off of them for a chest infection and I feel like I’ve slipped so far backward with controlling my symptoms and it feels like my meds aren’t doing anything right now.

Hmm—there is so much fascinating research about the gut-brain connection, and about how our microbiome contributes to our brains’ levels of hormones and neurotransmitters such as serotonin, and that antibiotics kill off good bacteria and can affect things like weight regulation, depression, etc., so it makes sense to me that your already-low dopamine levels could be even lower now.

Restore that gut bacteria! Greek yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha all good bacteria for your gut. Avoid alcohol when possible

You know what I had this thought a few weeks ago when I came off a round of antibiotics too. Very subtle & a lot was going on, but I swore it felt like that was making it worse … or probably the actual infection idk just having your body out of balance adds to it.

If you're looking for inspirational films about addiction I highly recommend The Resurrection of Jake the Snake Roberts. It's a documentary about the wrestler who had about as bad an addiction problem as you can imagine. It goes through his problems, despair, but also shows his road to recovery through platonic love, support, and he finds redemption. It's great for anyone like me that tried and failed to get sober for years. I have over a year now for the first time.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
