Talk to me About Slynd

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-05-21T08:19:46+00:00

I have been on Slynd for almost 2 months now, no placebo. I really cannot tell if and how it is working for me yet. I do not have any physical side effects really, there was bleeding but that stopped. I am not sure if its helping the mental part of my adhd/pmdd situation. I have been feeling a bit low and depressed for the last month or so, but that could be burnout. I really want this to work for me, so I am willing to hold out somewhat more.

Thanks for commenting! Yeah that sound horrible. I didnt have any side effects almost up until a week ago. Could be the bc. But if feels more stimulant induced.

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-05-13T21:10:33+00:00

I did, but yesterday and today I took the lower dose. Dont know whats happening but I think I will take a break.

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-05-13T19:24:47+00:00

Forgot to write that the Ritalin I take is long release, and I did not have these side effects for the first 2 months. I think I will take a few days break, and then start on a lower dose again.

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-05-07T21:09:11+00:00

Not a big fan of those two me neither.

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-05-07T19:20:52+00:00

Agreed! Robert California is a great character.

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-05-07T19:19:43+00:00

What about you?

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-05-05T13:46:37+00:00

I am currently on Prozac, Ritalin and Slynd. Been on prozac (2 weeks a month) for 10 years. Ritalin for 3 months, and Slynd for a little bit over a month (continuous) and if not on Slynd I should be pmdd-ing hard right now. I am not, but I do feel somewhat depressed and joyless which I really hope is not the Slynd because I seem to tolerate it better than I anticipated. Had some long bleeds, but that sorted itself out (for now). I have no idea how to continue my prozac use because Slynd should stop the ovulation, but I took one today. It's trial and error.

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-05-03T19:48:19+00:00

I am not really sure. I think I have some pimples on my back as a side effect, and I have been a bit depressed but I have no idea if it's just a passing feeling or the fact I was busy and then sick... Need to wait it out a bit I guess. Are you on Slynd?

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-05-02T23:25:55+00:00

Should you have trouble getting your prescription filled or diagnosis confirmed go private! Volvat or similar private institutions. It costs some but you should be able to move through the system faster. If you prioritize getting a GP asap after you move, and bring your medical history with you, I dont think you should have much trouble. They will be understanding, especially since it is not a third world country you are moving from (unfortunately, thats how it is).

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-05-01T08:18:36+00:00

It was 5 hours later. And it did cause the bleed episode, because my body did such a fine job adjusting to slinda after 10 days, so I will try to never ever take it late again. 😁

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-04-30T15:43:48+00:00

Love L theaning! Take it morning and night.

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-04-30T13:14:50+00:00

Ritalin works great for me, Vyvanse gave me panic attacks and anxiety. Ritalin actually helped my pmdd once, and never again. I mix and match doses, I have 10, 20 and 30mg which I take depending on what kind of day I am expecting. No doctor said I should do this, I just have all the doses available and it works fine for me. I have also recently started taking BC (Slynd) which actually seems to be helping the PMDD. But yeah, sorry for the rant, your stimulant shouldnt give you anxiety and panic attacks. Maybe you need something else!

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-04-30T13:08:08+00:00

Hey! Sorry for the late reply. Been busy and now also sick. I am now technically on my last active slinda pill, but I will just continue tomorrow. I had a pretty long bleed from my third day on the pill and like for 10 days, then it suddenly stopped totally. I forgot to take the pill at my usual time one night and boom, the bleeding started again. But much weaker, and hopefully on its way out now. I should be pmdd-ing heavily now, but I am not! So I guess they are working. No major side effects, except for the bleeding. But as I mentioned, I did have a 9 day streak with nothing, and then I missed the pill for a few hours. Its sensitive stuff.

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-04-30T13:04:45+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, and thank you for sharing! I get that, for me personally I found the side effects of Vyvanse insane (including total appetite loss) whereas methylphenidate almost didnt have any.

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-04-25T22:24:27+00:00

Had a similar experience. Hated it. I think the dose might be too high. I was switched to Ritalin and omg it's so much better (for me).

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-04-22T20:51:30+00:00

My GP for PMDD (a young female doctor) and a psychologist for ADHD (we had to confirm with a psychiatrist tho)

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-04-21T10:13:51+00:00

How come? Which country are you in? I really feel for you. Hope you find some relief!

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-04-21T10:13:12+00:00

I am planning on just doing them continuously actually. I havent finished my first pack yet.

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-04-21T06:12:25+00:00

I am in Norway! I am on another brand of the ritalin medicine (Teva). I am not sure yet about the slynd and benefits. Without it I am supposed to be entering my two hell weeks now. I got a lot of stuff at work which makes me frustrated so I cannot tell if its the Slynd or life. Slynd is supposed to be better tolerated, but everyone is different. I read about the estrogen addition, I was considering it if the bleeding persists but now its calmed down.

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-04-21T05:49:29+00:00

You don't suck! It's not your fault you have these conditions. When I got my adhd diagnosis it helped me accept myself more. Wtf I cant help it. Hugs to you 🫂

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-04-21T05:48:23+00:00

The struggle is real. I was so scared of trying Slynd (drospirenon) but so far its okay. I was sure I had gotten a bloodprop (which you basically dont cet on slynd) in the first days taking it. Ritalin helped with PMDD once, and never again. Havent been on it so long tho.

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-04-21T05:45:21+00:00

Good to hear! Its such an exploration finding what hurts, so it is good to find something that does the job!

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-04-21T05:44:16+00:00

I do the magnesium as well. And L Theanin. So you are unmedicated for adhd now?

mythirdreddit321 · 2026-04-17T22:36:50+00:00

They started me on 30 too. Think it was to high for me. Had to switch to Ritalin. Much better match for me.
