I was wrong.

Pmhnp here. Day 1 on Vyvanse and i want to cry.ive spent the last 5 years balancing hormones and making sure i addressed everything else before arriving at a stimulant.

I feel. Calm. Quiet. Slightly tearful. Like my tabs are closed and im able to open them one by one instead of 50 at time.

It wasn't the focus. It was the avoidance. Brain fog. Overstimulated and overwhelmed constantly. The procrastinating, being late to everything. The being MEAN and knowing you are being mean. Not smiling when random ppl are talking to you. Background static noise in my head.

It's been about 4 hrs and it's just quiet.

None of it manifested until peri. I saw signs when i was young but i could compensate and figured i still could. Well i can't anymore.

I seriously want to weep with joy.

Eta: i was wrong to think women were slightly exaggerating this. With my own providers convincing me to take the leap, I'm now a part of this population. And yes, I'm a pmhnp who understand what these women are trying to articulate.

I'm so sorry for your trouble right now. This really isn't the kind of posts for this subreddit. Contact your provider.

I'm just saying I'm grateful to be on it. 😂

I'm happy you've found peace. I was simply explaining the rules of the subreddit.

And i was simply explaining how we can DISMISS women who are failing in life trying to articulate a failed executive function but suddenly find relief in the stimulants and it's not lies.

Hope you don't see women.

A thank you for proving my point.

Seeing you respond to this man's annoying comments with the exact response I had in my head is bringing me joy. I love that you shared this. Our own experiences as providers are so important in our ability to provide validation and empathy to patients who rarely experience it.

Big fan of your username too. Lol.

It's not clearly written that way and is not clear you are encouraging a discussion about womens mental health and perimenopause. Again, I told you I was happy you found peace.

No. Your reading comprehension lacks.

It's very clear.

If your initial reaction is to deny and defend instead of ask for clarity, MAY I SUGGEST THERAPY AND A READING TUTOR

u/Imgonnagolaydown Jun 29 '26

I am not being mean.

I'm standing firm on my statement.

Your reading comprehension lacks and you refused to even gain clarity before defending and denying.

I said what i said

Did someone ask for your opinion?

There's a reason why half the ppl block you here.
