maybe, it all depends on your body and your own needs/wants. I've been on medication for the past 5ish years and have been thinking about self medication with weed. I've found myself unable to take my medicine regularly like I used to and have found myself feeling better off them now when just a year ago I'd feel 100x worse. just try to keep an open mind about it if you can

If you are AFAB I reccomend birth control. It helps with irritably near that time of the month. Also I'd switch from meds that make you hungry. It's hard to loose weight after hormones die down.

you definitely could, as we get older our hormones change, so we may need to adjust / change our medications as well

It is certainly possible for medications to change over time. But I think it’s not so much to do with age, as it is circumstances and their associated effects on you.
