I'm directing this question to all women, not just cisgender ones or ones that menstruate. My understanding is that we all can experience hormonal fluctuations during the month, for some it's just more predictable or obvious than others. Hormone therapy can have this effect too for our trans sisters. Curious what you notice, if anything.
every single month I have a small panic attack about how my meds have stopped working and I'm going to have to increase my adderall dose and what if I hit the top limit and they still don't work and my symptoms are worse than when I started the meds.... and then three days later it's like oh yeah it's just my stupid period ๐ things have gotten goofier timing wise with my iud messing with my cycle, but same idea. it's a low dose of progesterone but I think my body dislikes it regardless.
edut: more specifically, i have much more trouble motivating myself to be productive and focusing. I do have some depressed mood issues around that time too but they're not really impacted by the adderall
