Do (ADHD) meds make anyone else struggle with socialising? - eviltoast

It seems that for me whenever the meds “kick in” I can’t really mask properly anymore which causes undesired social issues with some friends (especially in an outdoor setting like this meme implies). Wondering how many others experience this, and does anyone know why this happens? I haven’t found any good reading on it and the psychs I mention it to just dismiss it.

    Very much so. I find when I have taken methylphenidate I can get more done especially chores - but I find myself like wanting to aggressively infodump and write small novels in text at people and I have to actively try to stop myself from just going on and on about various topics. It’s embarrassing because I know there’s steps I should take… gauging interest. Summarizing. Keeping on topic. To talk to nt folks. But… argh. I just want to get the information transmitted so they can process and we can both be on the same page with addressing whatever we’re talking about
