About this episode

Meg Kuang shares her personal experience of stopping ADHD medication after two years on Vyvanse.

YA'LLL this episode is one of the realest I've recorded in a while. I decided to stop taking my ADHD medication 2.5 months ago after 2 years on 20mg Vyvanse almost daily. Here, I share my experience with ADHD, getting diagnosed, my experience with Vyvanse, why I decided to stop and all of its effects on me. This isn't medical advice, it's my anecdotal experience — but I hope it offers some perspective to those of you also on stimulant meds. Also, let's harness the power of ADHD. It's not a disorder, it can absolutely be a superpower and I believe it is one of mine :) --- ⊹ LINKS ⊹ 🌻 Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@megkuang⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💌 Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Meg's Mind⁠ 🎵 TikTok: ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@megkuang⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎀 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ --- ♡ SUPPORT ♡ Leave me a rating/review ★★★★★ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a paid subscriber⁠
