Elvanse and Dexamphetamine
Hi there - I have been on 20mg of
Elvanse
for a month which is working well. I want to sleep by 2pm though so my dr is putting me on a 5mg top up of dexamphetamine. Does anyone have experience of this? Will it get me through to the end of the day better?

Vyvanse / lisdexamfetamine brain fog/ head pressure - any advice?
Vyvanse/ lisdexamfetamine query - Any advice for brain fog / head pressure on this? On 70mg it really settle internal hyperactivity and keeps me super calm. Which is great because I’m generally incredibly irritable. 0-100 over tiny things. But, it also simultaneously makes me feel kinda flat and I don

Hi Everyone , why do I feel so isolated during “isolation”, drifting away from the outside world and what I can do about it ?
I have been diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago and take 60mg
Elvanse
. My wife has tested positive cv19 last eel and it has completely knocked her of her feet and our family needs to isolate for 10 days.

Frustrated and tired
I got diagnosed 5-6 yrs ago and basically had support from the therapist who diagnosed me. I finally was starting to see a therapist late last yr but now I’m have to find a new due to a change in insurance. Luckily I’ve been able to keep taking my vyvanse. Since I’ve been diagnosed I’ve been watching

Refusing medication
My 8 year old daughter started taking medication just before she turned 7 for ADHD combined type and after she got on a methylphenidate capsule we could mix into applesauce or yogurt, she mostly took it without problem for most of last school year. She'd usually take one or both weekend days off, because

New Diagnosis
Hello everyone, I was diagnosed with ADHD about a year ago and wanted to reach out. I have been on and off stimulants but I seem to have the strangest side effect from them. My neck always gets incredibly stiff and tight when I am on them, even at small doses. I have tried Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse

Bupropion - has anyone had success on this for ADHD?
After failed trials on methylphenidate (worked wonders for three months, now my tolerance is insanely high), Vyvanse and Atomoxetine, my doctor is now seeing how I fare on bupropion/Wellbutrin. It’s to be taken in combination with Guanfacine, which has been great for sensory overload but terrible for

Can these medications change personality?
citalopram, vyvanse, wellbutrin, xanax Does anyone have experience or knowledge about medications changing personality and contributing to memory issues? My wife has been telling me how drastically out of character I have been for several months, and I don't seem to agree. Thanks!

Anyone else experience extreme hunger while on Vyvanse?

Can I exercise 5 days a week if I’m taking Vyvanse?
To be more specific. I’m naturally a slim guy and I used to workout 5 days a week to build up. However I went into depression and stopped. Further down the line I was diagnosed with ADHD and am using Vyvanse. I’ve heard conflicting information, but I’d like to know if anyone knows of it is safe and ok

I’m in 70 mg vyvanse and 30 mg adderall
I can’t function. I feel sleepy. How is that possible? I’m so lazy as if I have hangover traits. I only took half dosage of olanzepine and fluoxetine last night. I can’t seem to get myself going today even as doing physical labor. Having a rough time. Feeling stuck.

Has anyone tried Provasil or citicoline as a supplement to ADD med, or alone? Reading how Provasil helps brain function. Citicoline too.
Saw mr Dr. last week and switched to methylphenidate IR. Told her I think extended release might have been the cause for the muscle pain. I'm on my 2nd. day. Started with 10mg twice a day yesterday. Today I did 20mg. Think I'll skip second dose today to see what effects I might get. So far very minor

Vyvanse vs Adderall XR/IR Experiences
What has people’s experience been with Vyvanse vs Adderall XR? I’m taking 60mg of Vyvanse which is great for the 4-5 hours it’s working but the crash is becoming more difficult and just need a more prolonged focus. I’m leery to even go up to the 70mg. Has anyone had the same experience with Vyvanse

Medication isn’t an option / what are your top helps in daily life?
Hi. I’m a 57yo woman who was diagnosed 12 years ago when our eldest was 7. Quickly went on Vyvanse and it was like a new world. However, after a few months found out that I have a heart condition (Vasovagal response) and so can’t take stimulants. I’ve tried cleaning up diet, but have recently fallen

Keen to know if anyone else has been advised to take 2 Elvanse/Vyvanse a day.
I experienced relatively early crashes after 2 weeks starting on meds. I’d take 30 mg first anywhere between 8-10:30 and my psychiatrist said that’s fine up until that time. I’d experience the crash anywhere between 2-4 (not major crashes but noticeable as normal). Because of this he said to take another

Why do people compare the street drug speed to stimulants? I assume there is a difference and it’s not a clone?
I’m new to stimulants (Vyvanse/
Elvanse
). Here is an excerpt from the American version of The Guardian paper: In 2014, the adult market for pharmaceutical stimulants in the US overtook the long-reigning children’s market.

do extended release stimulants cause more muscle issues than immediate release?
Seeing dr. this week and thinking of switching from ER Vyvanse(only way it comes) to Adderall-not extended release. Has anyone experienced more muscle pain with ER than immediate release? Tried methylphenidate ER, Adderall ER and Vyvanse. All gave me severe muscle pain in neck and shoulders. Wondering

ADHD medication query (UK)
The Paediatrician has suggested
Elvanse
(which is child dexamphetamine) which apparently lasts all day. I’m reluctant to change but it would be great to have something that lasts all day without constantly taking meds. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
