lisdexamfetamine exhaustion

[Theirishone]

I started this medication back last Thursday so tomorrow will be a week. First day I felt very high, extremely focused didn’t sleep well at all for next 3 days, bit better Sunday and Monday; but feel really weird, like I am slow looking in on my body as in out of body. I take it every day at 630am, first 3 to 4 hours are ok as super focused but around midday I am zoned out want to go to bed. Please tell me this a normal reaction, trying to eat more protein but really don’t feel like eating much so forcing the issue. Just worried about work as I am 44 and managed to struggle through work wise, home wise not so much. Any tips as don’t go off work sick?

Hi...I was silsr at first...these are just the common side effects...ive Been on it for 4yrs and now I sleep OK, My appetite is normal and I don't get over stimulated...if it persists then I would recommend asking for a smaller dose

I was similar to this when I started it too but it settled down fairly quickly. I was still having a 'crash' mid afternoon after a few weeks, so the doctor suggested splitting the dose, so now I have 40mg in the morning and 20mg mid day and that works really well for me... Might be worth a try.
