inability to keep a routine affects every aspect of my life.
I was diagnosed in my 20’s and have been medicated for a decade or so and
Vyvanse
seems to help, but I can’t stick to a routine and it’s affecting every part of my life.

Unmotivated on Vyvanse
My Dr recently switched me to
vyvanse
20mg. I feel calmer and irritability is significantly less however I feel zero motivation or interest in anything. I feel like it is not making me care about anything like the mess aroubd me piling up and no interest in anything at work.

Modafinil- share your experiences
I’m 48, have had little success with
vyvanse
, Concerta and now Adderall due to side effects. All of these wonderful adhd meds are making me dreadfully tired, tachycardic and adderall is giving me abdominal pains and possibly affecting my urination despite lots of hydration.

Mood stabilizer and Vyvanse
Has anyone tried taking a mood stabilizer to try and manage the irritability
Vyvanse
causes to some? I’m currently taking lamictal due to the moodiness ADHD causes me to have. Just wondering if I can make a good combo.

Adult Testing
The second provider is hell bent on treating me with just Wellbutrin (which 5 weeks in isn't helping) and keeps stringing me along on the evaluation because I want to be on either Adderall or
Vyvanse
(both meds have worked for me in the past). She doesn't want me on any stimulant.

Wow...son with inattentive ADHD just turned 18..don't feel he's ready for the world. I've protected him :(
Started struggling, tried Methiphenydate (sp) and
Vyvanse
. Both made him very sick. Didn't work. Freshman year went OK. He was not medicated. 10th grade year was going badly, he was failing. Then the pandemic happened and virtual learning was a saving grace!

Do short acting or longer acting stimulants work better for your school-related focus needs?
I’ve tried
vyvanse
and Concerta and have found that I never can reach a focus peak with the longer acting stimulant medication- they don’t seem to prescribe Adderall or Dexyamphetamine often where I live, but since I have a tried to take meds around my best focus times- 4-11pm, I still feel that I would

Drink plenty of water while on Vyvance and possibly other ADHD medication might help you.
I went a couple years without trying anything again until life got really bad and a therapist asked if I had tried
Vyvanse
. I ended up having a lot of the same issues and was very disappointed. I scoured the internet for many of the negative side effects where some didn't seem to be very common.

Dealing with a 6yo with EXTREME behavior disorders
We had him on Focalin XR for about 2 years and have now switched him to
Vyvanse
20mg as well as Guanfacine 2mg. I can't even accurately put into words what we are dealing with. Every moment is a struggle with him. He has no self-control and is extremely impulsive.

Any tips for helpful tricks or behavioral changes for ADHD?
I’m a little new to my ADHD diagnosis and VERY new to my meds (
vyvanse
). I just wanted to know what some things were that helped you all be more efficient or organized or happy? It could be anything! Ex.

How do you "break" your hyperfocus when you need to do other tasks?
I have recently started taking
Vyvanse
(just over a month) and i can say it is helping with alot of these symptoms. However, yesterday was a REALLY bad day for hyperfocus and I could not break out of it.

Dealing with insomnia
I'm just curious about whether folks have started to take sleep meds after starting ADHD drugs like Ritalin/
Vyvanse
etc. Thanks.

Just started Vyvanse. Any tips?
That being said, she told me she prescribed 10mg capsules of
Vyvanse
to take once a day for 5 days and then 20mg capsules for the next month until we meet again.

Elvanse, Dexamfetamine sulfate and sleep
Hi there I have been building up on Elvanse from 30mg -70mg and think it is fantastic. It reduces my overwhelm, I stop faffing, I stop beating myself up and my husband and children like me more. I set up my own business. I have energy- I could go on and on! But I can’t sleep on it. My doctor has now

Elvanse & Concerta XL : Worth persisting?
I was diagnosed some years ago with mild ADD. I was initially prescribed Elvanse, it was like a miracle, amazing clarity of thought! However, 2 days in it made me feel sick. I switched to Concerta XL, same problem. Sweating, dizziness, nausea. I gave up after about 3 days and never returned to the meds
