I’ve been on Elvanse, as it’s called in the UK, for about two months. *Prescribed for combo-type ADHD (inattentive/hyperactive)

My goal was emotional regulation, and glad to say it’s working. I’ve been happy and I’m less anxious and stressed. I found my love for life- hell I even love my job haha.

But the unexpected thing is that I feel like I’m finally letting go of negative emotions, too. I’ve been diagnosed with complex PTSD and it seems that it’s all just unraveling. Like, unprompted processing and gratitude.

I’m writing this after randomly letting go of something I carried around for years- I sobbed tears of relief and peace and just feel happy?

I’m not concerned, but the lack of intention around it is interesting. Wondering if anyone here has had similar experiences?

*edit to clarify prescription purpose.
