Adderall & Vyvanse: Alexis's Story

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today the Gals interviewed long-time Gal Pals listener: Alexis Chouery. After Engrid shared over in the Gal Pal Corral, about her own experience with vyvanse and the role it played in her eating disorder and exercise addiction, Alexis reached out and said she had her own story with vyvanse and adderall. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We really wanted to have Alexis on the show because we believe there is value in hearing others experiences. Also vyvanse (similar to adderall and other stimulants) are things we personally don’t believe are spoken much about. Even if your story is different from Alexis’s we urge you to listen for the similarities not the differences. Also fun fact, in addition to being a long time listener of Gal Pals, Alexis receives personal training from Engrid online.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">___</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you want to hear Engrid’s solo episode where she shares the full story about her experience with vyvanse and the role it played in her eating disorder and exercise addiction - you can listen to it here:</span> <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lpp-127-my-vyvanse-addiction-story/id1155709043?i=1000461957690?i=1000461957690"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">LPP #127 Engrid’s Vyvanse Addiction Story</span></a></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">___</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>IN THIS EPISODE:</strong></p> <p> </p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Alexis shares how she was first diagnosed with Adult ADHD, and how easily she was prescribed Vyvanse</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How this diagnosis brought her peace of mind and made her experience struggling in school, feel acknowledged </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How diagnosis play a role in our identity</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sh
