As a woman in peri (IYKYK) I take my meds during weekdays and days I know I’ll need a boost of dopamine. Like week 3

Just on the weekdays

like

Just weekdays, but TBH I can see the benefit to take it everyday. I would definitely have it easier time focusing and keeping track of things on the weekend if I took the meds, I just don't want to have to deal every single day with a side effects like the impact on appetite, etc

like

It commonly suppresses appetite

Usually just weekdays, but by accident. My pills are by my desk in my home office and because I don’t often go in the office on weekends, I forget to take them. Out of sight, out of mind.

Typical college won't work for me. 4. I also can't relocate.
