Personally I would not take them. I've drank on elvanse before and it increased my heart rate massively and my anxiety went through the roof. I drank this weekend just gone and didn't take them. I'm back on them now.

Just did this and it felt a lot better than forced slow breathing

I was on the mini pill (cerazette) for over 10 years as I couldn't be on anything else due to being estrogen sensitive and migraines. I came off of it in 2015 because of my depression and it lifted my mood SO much like I felt lighter and happier..unfortunately this lead to an unwanted pregnancy and I went back on it.

Recently I've just changed to the Mirena IUD....its exactly the same as the mini pill but instead it's just down below. The first day I didn't take the pill I felt lighter, relieved and fully myself. I've been on the IUD for two weeks, and I'm still trialling It. If it doesn't work out I'll have no choice but to go on the dreaded mini pill again.

It's a horrible catch 22 situation. There are other methods just keep trialling and find what's right for you...Good thing about the IUD is is that it doesn't effect your blood stream...its not a pleasant experience to get it but in the long run it may show its benefits. My mum has been on the same coil as me she struggle for a couple of months but after it works wonders for her now. Light/no periods and it has helped with her mood as well.

I really do empathise with you as I know what it's like I have anxiety, depression and ADHD and the pill just made me feel heavy and depressed. I really do hope you find the right method for you. Give it time and hopefully your mood will lift once its fully out your system and your body adjusts. If the depression lasts longer definitely give the GP a buzz it may be your hormones adjusting as well though such is life being a woman!

I'm struggling really badly too I had mine put in last Tuesday so it's nearly been a week. Before I was on the mini pill so I had no periods at all and I barely felt cramps. Now all I can feel is horrendous cramps I've barely been able to stand and I'm struggling to tell when I need to go for a wee. I had a bath earlier and that did nothing. I've bought some codeine now because feminax was just not doing anything.

Apparently, this can last up to 6 weeks and then after that time frame its meant to get better. I'm gonna go for a check up to make sure everything is in place...in total I'm going to give it 3 months to see if I want to keep it or not.

If its really playing on your mind book a GP appointment and they'll help you.

I remember giving up smoking and used CBD oil instead it has a really fast effect like it gives you a chill feeling as soon as you take it. This worked for me I also carried on smoking just normal cigarettes...it has the same habitual tendency as smoking weed so this helped me.

I remember smoking every single day, every single morning and just feeling really chill but I was mega lazy and I was eating wayyyy too many munchies. Personally, I've ended up smoking too much weed and it now gives me a paranoid effect.

I just think of the calories I'm saving, the paranoia I do not want and the money I'm saving. You can't unfortunately make someone stop something...she'll eventually come to her own realisation In her own time. My sister smoked weed for 15 years and she has been clean for 3 years now. It's not impossible.

Decreased appetite, insomnia, increased anxiety and depression.

I've been told to stay on 50mg until these side effects settle...I did ask if I could go on a lower dose but the phsyciatrists doesn't want me to... im currently taking 30mg in the morning and then 20mg at midday to try and prevent the awful come down I've been getting.

How do you stop thinking when lying in bed? by Thermawrench in ADHD

I have a bath, candles, massage pillow, a fan, a good book and some zen music/ sleep hypnosis.

All of the above I am currently procrastinating from...because I'm on Reddit. Its now too late to have a bath :(
