More than a year in Vyvanse

I have been on Vyvanse 20 mg for more than a year now. My diagnosis was 16 months ago. I tried Concerta for 2 weeks but it didn't work for me.While on By Anse I went through many struggles both physically, cognitive,and emotionally. I tried to take breaks etc. One of the major issues is the stress I was living in and my marriage. Lately my beloved husband started to understand and appreciate my struggles in my daily life and started to be less critical and very helpful.

My current real struggle is the morning struggles with tiredness, foggy brain and struggle with work. It take few hours till I get alert. Then around mid afternoon I will start to have headaches... sometimes it's tolerable sometimes it's bad associated with neck and shoulders muscles tension.

Anyone has similar experience? My doctor is out of town for 1 week . Just wanted to see if someone has experienced the same and what did they do to manage.

Thanks and sorry for the long post.
