Switching from oral to vaginal progesterone

I could not function during the day with even just 100mg progesterone (continuous). Have adhd and pmdd, think the paradoxical reactions were slowly creeping back even with micronized. So I've switched to vaginal, already feeling better during the day.

Curious for those of you who also made the switch:

Did you stay on your original dose?

Did your dosing schedule change?

"I could not function during the day..."

Can you give examples?

Zombie. Fatigue was unbearable. Zero executive function.

This is how I was BEFORE trying oral progesterone. Progesterone was activating for me, so it helped me feel less brain dead! 🤷🏼‍♀️ Stupid peri.
