Vyvanse every other y

Hello everyone,Hope you all are dywell. I have been taking Vyvanse 20mg capsule every other day since about 2 months!

Recently,I noticed that on the off day I do much better than than the On day (the day when I take Vy anse).

The symptoms I have when I'm on are: dizziness,lethargy,tiredness, inattentiveness. These symptoms start in the morning, sometime they fade away towards noon and sometimes they don't.

Does anyone experience such a situation? Any advice?

Thanks,

Hi Notebook24,

I’ve been taking Vyvanse 20mg. everyday for about four months and I feel great. It gives me the boost that I need to finish my tasks through the day (but it works only for about 6 hrs. ) In the past I tried different ones like Concerta and Adderall but al of them gave me headaches, dizziness, nauseas, and sometimes it raised my heartbeat.

I guess Vyvanse is not for you. In my opinion, I think your doctor should change the medication until they find the one that works for you.

I hope it helps. I wish you the best!!

It's more efficient to try a whole month and then quit to compare.

Maybe you are not on the right dose ( please google the bell curve) maybe not on the right brand, and maybe you have the wrong diagnosis. Did you know mental health is a point of view, and you would not get the same diagnosis or an adhd diagnosis if you would be checked by other professionals? This is an important thing to know if you don't want to lose all your free time in a rabbit hole like I did. Here I am, again, on a Saturday night, on this page, when 5 different groups who studied me made different conclusions...
