Trying to be a better human!
I have been on Ritalin 20mg (2 months RAGE MACHINE),
Vyvanse
40mg (6 months got to be to much $ w/o insurance), and now Focalin XR 30mg but need to up it I think.
Vyvanse
helped with my health a lot I lost 35lbs. quit smoking and felt better. Focalin XR is different but good still.

Needing to Vent
For the last 8 years I've been taking
Vyvanse
on and off. Started with 60mg, that was far too much of a dosage, so my Doc prescribed me 30mg, and that wasn't much better. The side effects got the best of me, like I was just a completely different person.

Vyvanse trouble?
I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed 20mg of
vyvanse
, and it hasn’t been working. Tried 40 today and it’s still not reeeally working. I’m wondering if I’m not taking enough for my weight/stature/age (21)?? I weigh about 280.

Feeling “blah” in evenings
I take 30mg cymbalta and 30mg
Vyvanse
each morning. I find that the
Vyvanse
works very well for focus and restlessness, but gives me most benefit for about a 4 hour period mid day.

Need realistic expectations
I have tried taking Ritalin,
Vyvanse
and Adderall and I try to learn and practice strategies to deal with the symptoms but so far it feels like a losing battle. I just recently realized that I’m not sure how much I should expect out of Medication.

Adderall xr doesn’t seem to work as well?
I was tAking
vyvanse
40mg and adderall 10mg to help me think faster/concentrate for about the last year. For some reason, my dr is against stating a diagnosis. Anyway, It was great for a while but then I had to see a new dr and now my insurance won’t cover

Coronavirus and Resuming Meds- advice or similar experiences much appreciated!!
In any case, it’s making me pretty anxious and I’m not sure if I should just stop the
Vyvanse
again or give it a little longer to see if some of these symptoms abate. Any advice or similar experience would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!

New ADHD - Elvanse and Sertraline: feeling terrible
Hey, I am at the end of my first week of on 20mg of Elvanse. I am also taking 100mg a day of Sertraline for my depression and anxiety (although I've heard the need for antidepressant meds often goes once ADHD is correctly diagnosed and the meds are working). However this first week I have mostly felt

Combination therapy: Elvanse + Strattera
I seem to be incredibly sensitive, and the smallest mini-dose of
Vyvanse
aka Elvanse is good for me. I take 1/6th of the smallest dose, and it truly helps. I realize this sounds a bit unbelievable to some, even doctors - but I know my body - and a higher dose was no good.

Needing advice
She switched me from adderal which was working for me to
Vyvanse
. It did not work for me at all and it was two months of hell. I'm now on Adderall XR however I am so tired that I'm wondering if it's worth it. I'm almost afraid to say anything to her because she makes me feel ashamed.

Should I switch to a non-stimulant ADHD med?
When I take
Vyvanse
it helps me focus so much and helps me stop procrastinating, it’s very helpful. But I’ve noticed that I’m constantly having those little tics, it’s almost uncomfortable to stop, and it’s all of the time therefore uncomfortable. I don’t know why.

start of vyvanse
So I finally got on my ADHD medicine today because it took a while to get a doc appointment and I'm on 40mg of
vyvanse
. I'm noticing that I feel like I'm very hyper aware and moving from thing to thihng and I thought vyvnase was supposed to slow you down.

Heart Flutters/palpitations on Vyvanse normal?
I took only 10 mg of
Vyvanse
and felt great. Not loopy, I felt focused,and happy. However, as I was coming down from the
Vyvanse
(only after about four hours) I had a little Diet Coke (not much at all) to help with the crash.

20 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WITH INATTENTIVE ADHD AND ANXIETY
She takes 50mg
Vyvanse
. She likes it very much for the focus. I am not sure if it's related to the
vyvanse
(I really don't think so, ,but probably makes it worse), but she has anxiety- especially social anxiety. And within the last year or so, Ive found her to be really irritable and often cranky.
