Less preoccupation with food can matter enormously in someone’s day. So can a change in mood or routine. Neither, on its own, establishes that ADHD has been treated.

I would start the conversation with what you noticed: when did it begin, what else changed, and how were your sleep, daily life and side effects at the time?
Perimenopause can add another layer because changes in sleep and concentration may overlap with ADHD-related difficulties. You deserve a conversation that takes all of that seriously, without rushing to one explanation.
