Personal only. Oral progesterone knocked me out and my ADHD felt worse because I could not start tasks. A Mirena for progestogen helped. I waited until I had more than a few dramatic days before I raised it. Some weeks were fine if I slept; other weeks the same routine collapsed. I did not start, stop, or split medicines on my own. Clinic review was slower than I wanted, but safer. This is anecdotal, not a recommendation.
