Yuuuup this is me. I have an IUD now so I don't get periods, per se, but sometimes I do get pretty bad cramping (I got the IUD to mitigate my horrible menstrual cramps... they are better, but not fully gone). When im in pain people know, lmao.
Currently 100% of my coworkers I see regularly are german men, so I think they think American women are just very loud about their reproductive systems 😂 but really I just cannot give a shit, and the idea that I should be ashamed of it is insulting.
I have found in my experience that yes weed worsens my ADHD. However I've never been drug tested for it by my doctor. The only justifiable reason I could imagine would be if they put you on a medication where there are known drug interactions, or something, but even then it seems a bit odd to me. It sounds like this is an atmosphere that comes from their substance abuse specialization.
Digging it so far. Some technical issues but I think they may just be due to the mobile app I am using (sometimes when I open a post, the comments displayed are the ones from the last post I looked at). But it feels much more.. Democratic? Than reddit did.
I found that my side effects got better with time, but also i ended up taking other meds (prozac) to balance me out, especially with the anxiety and lack of appetite/feeling tired.
I'm not on adderal anymore (they don't have it in the EU), I switched to vyvanse a couple years ago, and I find that the side effects are way milder. I'd say it's not quite as effective as adderal, but I can take it every day (weekends too) without feeling like I'm on crack.
