New starter on Evanse

I'm just starting on Evanse (30mg daily) and would like to hear from other adults who have been using it if you're willing to share? I'm 41 now, but first started on Ritalin about 13 years ago, which made a massive positive diference for me. But in 2011, I had some trouble coping with stress and was prescribed Sertraline (50mg) for general anxiety disorder and to address ADHD. I eventually stopped the Ritalin and just stayed on the Sertraline, which helped for several years. But then I got to a point where I had to either come off it (practically impossible) or increase the dose (which I didn't want). So now, after many years of trying to get a referral, I got to see an adult ADHD specialist who started me on the Evanse, while I continue to take the Sertraline (and hopefully weaning off that in the coming months).

Are there any other adults on here just on Evanse or Evanse and Sertraline that have some experiences that might be helpful?

I'm on Vyvanse which is the US version 30mg and it really helps me as a person with ADHD and a mom of 6 yr old ADHD son.

It's been a week now and the difference is AMAZING! Stopped taking the Sertraline immediately because the two weren't a good mix. The only negative is that my sleep is not great, I can't seem to turn of my brain. But I'm not sleeping during the day anymore and getting on with work and chores without any bother. So glad I did it.
