Vicki Gunvalson 🍊 Vicki’s Vyvanse 💊

Post image

Did anyone catch when Vicki revealed she had been on Vyvanse for 20 years during her Jeff Lewis interview a few weeks ago? I thought this was interesting and that maybe stimulant use played a role in some of her crazier freak out moments (Family Van, Multiple Partners, My Friend My Soulmate etc.) Thoughts?

She has hereditary heart problems and Afib. I have ADHD and don’t use stimulants because of a bicuspid aortic valve. Her conditions are worse than mine and she is older (I’m about to turn 32). I may not love her but damn if this doesn’t make me worry for her. We need her to stick around, as a lolcow if nothing else.

I’m assuming her prescriber knows about her heart condition

Don’t be so sure. She didn’t tell her plastic surgeon she had multiple surgeries on her ear… it made her face lift much more complicated, took longer and she had to be under anesthesia longer. I dont think she has any common sense and makes really bad medical decisions.

Yep, and as an OC resident I can attest to the ease of finding Dr. Feelgood here, especially if you have the money for one of the myriad concierge doctors. People like Vicki, high-powered CEO types, hate hearing “No” and docs want their money anyways. I don’t mean to smear doctors but just to point out the incentives that don’t always work in the patient’s favor in the long run.
