Hi, I was recently diagnosed with ADHD at 35 years of age. I didn’t realise till now that in the past, I was self-medicating by using recreational drugs. I have taken 30mg Elvanse this morning and I’m rattling, similarly to how I would when I would use substances. Is this jittery feeling normal on day 1 of taking Elvanse and does it subside as the days go on? Thanks🙂

Elvanse - 1st day. Feeling weird..
I take Vyvanse and the first day was the weirdest. It was beyond strange how I felt jittery and tired at the same time. I remember I went to the gym and walked slowly on the treadmill which seemed to help. By day 3 the side effect went away. Not sure if that’s helpful! Starting a new med can be scary and confusing!
Hi lemonspeaks, thank you thank you. I read so many posts saying that people felt GREAT and super productive on the first day of taking meds and I just felt like shit! I didn’t drink any caffeine today and I had a better morning but I seemed to have a “come-down” in the afternoon. It’s horrid. However! It’s day 3 tomorrow so fingers crossed it’s a better day like it was for you. Thank you xx
I started Elvanse yesterday and felt weird. But for the first time in a long time didn’t feel knackered all day. I don’t feel as bad today though.
Have you settled down in it now?
