Managed 20 days on Elvanse/Vyvanse. It made me very suicidal. Everyone on tiktok was the most productive they've ever been and I just slept and wanted to die, so I feel like I've failed. Anyone else?

@[email protected] I get terrible migraines on my period and when I ovulate. I was laid out for two days this week by one. Hope you feel better soon!
@Autumndh Oh no that's so shit! At least you know you have other options. Defo got my fingers crossed for you. Let me know how you get on.
@darthfickeisen Depression is a nightmare I wouldn't wish on anyone, like being sealed inside yourself and unable to escape. So glad to hear you're doing better. It definitely gives you perspective though and insight into the plight of others.
@darthfickeisen Thank you😀 I have had depression and anxiety since I was young so they are no stranger to me. I didn't expect gradual changes in hormones to hit so hard though! #HRT is working fantastically though and I hope talking about it here can help other women suffering in silence.
@Autumndh I have had a couple of copper (nonhormonal) coils as contraceptives in the past and I loved them. I was able to completely forget about it whilst it was in there. I understand it's def not for everyone. I've never gotten along with hormonal contraception. I went for patches as if it didn't agree with me (triggered migraines) I could take it off. I would hate to have a hormonal coil in me too.
@Autumndh out. A few weeks ago I just couldn't stop crying for days. I knew I had to do something as I was just getting worse. It was hard just to get myself together to speak to the doc. I feel SO much better now though. I think this is karma for 30+ years of pretty easy periods. I had no idea perimenopause could be so terrible. I hope Cerelle works for you, but if it doesn't, go back to the dr and ask for something else, don't suffer in silence! x
@Autumndh The pill might help you, it's worth a try. You can get HRT in pill, cream or patch form. I have had chronic migraines for three years which have been really debilitating. I realised they were hormonal and my doc gave me a pill similar to Cerelle but it made the migraines worse. Then I started getting depression and anxiety (worse than I already have) and it gradually got worse until I was sat in the house all day eating sandwiches and chocolate and feeling resentful if I had to go
@Autumndh I was so depressed and anxious due to perimenopause I genuinely thought I'd be dead by xmas. Today is my 7th day on HRT and I feel bloody great! Within 2 days it was like I had my old self back. I've walked 5+miles today and I'm smiley and positive. Zero side effects. My boobs are sore but they've been sore for two weeks out of four for months now so I can't say it's cos of HRT. It has really brought me back to life!
