Episode Synopsis

In this first episode of Or We Could Talk About It, I open up about something I’ve never really said out loud: What if the medication I’ve been on since I was 8 was never the solution—but part of the problem?I’ve spent the last few years trying to figure out why I constantly feel exhausted and drained—mentally, physically, all of it. I went to so many doctors, tried so many treatments, and none of it really helped. Then I started learning about how stimulants like Vyvanse can affect your adrenal system long-term… and I realized no one ever questioned the one thing I’d been on for over a decade. Now I’m slowly beginning to taper off of Vyvanse after 12 years, and while I don’t know for sure if it’s the root of everything, it’s made me rethink my entire health journey.This episode is just me talking through the process of getting to the answer. It’s not a straight line—it’s messy, a little all over the place, and honestly… I might ramble. But if you’ve ever been dismissed by doctors, questioned your diagnosis, or felt like you had to dig for the truth yourself, then I think you’ll get it.-Meghan
