Does ADHD medication quiet food noise the same way it quiets other intrusive thoughts?
Does ADHD medication actually quiet food noise the same way it seems to quiet other intrusive or racing thoughts?

Many people describe a similar-feeling effect, since stimulant medications improve focus and reduce the intrusive, jumping quality of thoughts generally, some people report food-related thoughts becoming quieter or less persistent alongside other mental noise, not as a separate targeted effect but as part of the broader focus improvement. This is based on commonly reported experience rather than a formally studied specific claim about food noise as its own measured outcome.

100% relate to this, my brain just got quieter across the board including food thoughts once I started treatment. Wasn't expecting that specific benefit going in.
