Generic Vyvanse
Has anyone switched to this yet, who was previously on the brand name version? If so, does it work similar to the brand name in terms of efficacy? Any different side effects? Is the texture similar when you go to mix it with yogurt, etc? My daughter has been on brand name Vyvanse for a few years now

Where to start...
I was diagnosed with ADD as a young child but never really got any treatment for it. I struggled through grade school and highschool..attempted Community college but didnt make it past 1 semester. I then decided to go to school to become a medical assistant it was about a 12 month program struggled through

Muscle mass growth???
hiii c: I’ve been on vyvanse 50mg for about 4 months now and the weight loss is still occurring. At first I didn’t mind because I’ve always been small but had a little extra weight on my lower belly due to having a C-section for my daughter. I’ve always been BIG into fitness and keeping my physique

Stuck in the vicious cycle
hello everyone, I found this group after googling a bunch of my ADHD symptoms and I really hope I can find someone who has some suggestions or can even relate to me. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 30. Before my diagnosis, I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety which I hear is quite common

ADHD Medication update
Hi All, Just wanted to provide an update. I initially tried Vyvanse and noticed zombification, lowering the dose did not help. I also noticed that I felt a bit depressed as the effect wore off and when not using it I didn't feel right emotionally. I caught up with my Psychiatrist and he said that I

has anybody switched from Vyvanse to Concerta because Vyvanse only last a couple hours?
I have been on by Vance three months now, and it seems to only last a couple hours before it starts to wear off. I’ve been reading, and some people metabolize vitamins, much faster than others. Has anybody found a way to make it last longer? I am thinking about switching to Concerta because of the

Found my tribe...
I am now trying
Elvanse
and my first day went, oh well... mixed. I couldn't eat much, which I don't mind as I gained almost 10kg in the last year. My mind felt somehow distant, but it could also be the aftermath of yesterdays horrible fight I had with my daughter and then my husband.

Personality Dull Vyvanse?
Hi All, I took vyvanse 30m like a day ago, this is my second day. I haven't noticed any major side effects except insomnia and also strangely feeling a bit dull (first day at start I did feel happy and euphoric a bit). But I just feel super mature and have lost a bit of my fun and humour side and don't

Trying Vyvanse tomorrow
Hi All, I'm gonna officially try vyvanse tomorrow morning. It's been ages and due to some scary reviews, stigma etc. I had just delayed trying it for more than a month. I just had a lightbulb moment recently and also realized that at this point not taking could pose greater risks than taking it and

Elvanse - 1st day. Feeling weird..
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🙂

Vyvanse need encouragement
My anxiety about starting my 15 year old on Vyvanse is out of control. Please give me some encouragement. When my daughter was younger, we tried Ritalin and Adderall and had problems with both. We went several years unmedicated. My daughter is doing well in all areas of life and i keep questioning

increasing Vyvanse dose
I was on 40 Mg of Vyvanse and it literally put me to sleep l. It got a little better over the month. I requested an increase because I take my capsule at 7:00 am it was wearing off around 1:00. Dr increased me to 50 mg. I just hope the 10 mg increase will last longer.

Struggling with work/life balance
I’m finding myself stuck within the same struggle that I constantly keep circling back to. I feel like there has to be an answer or a solution, but maybe there just isn’t. I tried meds, Vyvanse, for about 3 years. In the beginning I thought it was working, then not so much. I played around with dosing

Great mornings, Ordinary afternoons.
Hi All. Recently diagnosed adult, working my way through my experiences with Vyvanse. Started on 20mgs, then 30, now 40. Increased over a period of roughly 3-4 months. I'm 179cm and 82kgs. Firstly, it's been life changing. The calm and "organised" thoughts I get when the Vyvanse kicks in is amazing
