Christine McGuinness has revealed she is on her third type of ADHD medication after suffering with the side affects.
The model, 37, was diagnosed with autism and ADHD in 2020 after spending the majority of her life confused as to why she acted differently from everyone else growing up.
And opening up on her diagnosis, Christine admitted she has been struggling to ‘regulate her nervous system and control what she is saying’.
She looked incredibly glamorous in the busty selfies she shared alongside her candid post.
She captioned her post: ‘3 weeks off my second type of ADHD meds – 3 days into my third type of ADHD meds!. (I’m neither for or against meds – it’s personal choice and you have to do whatever is right for you)
‘I’ve been on them since early last year and I’m still unsure! Mainly because off the side effects, I had to come off them but I’m trying one last time praying they work because although it was lovely feeling like ‘ME’ again (unmedicated me – I miss you already)

Now, she’s hinted that a second book could pick up where that story left off, reflecting on her life after their separation, her recent diagnosis with autism and ADHD, as well as her journey of self-discovery.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Christine revealed: ‘It’s amazing to get to do an autobiography.’
‘I can write about what happened next – I love writing.’
‘When you do one, you have to be honest and personal,’ she explained, admitting she’s ready to ‘embrace it’.
It comes after Christine has opened up about life after her split from comedian Paddy, admitting she has found single life ‘lonely’ at times.
The model, who finalised her divorce from the Top Gear host, 52, last year after 11 years of marriage, spoke candidly about adjusting to her new reality.
Christine revealed that she’s still finding her feet when it comes to dating again and discovering more about her sexuality, saying the past year has been one of self-reflection and growth.
The mum-of-three who, describes herself as a ‘free spirit’ and has dated male and females since she was 15, previously stated that gender does not matter to her.
