Why Does My Vyanse/Elvanse Dosage Increase Feel Useless?
My doctor is reluctant to give me short-acting meds on top of the
Vyvanse
. Has anyone else experienced this? The change in efficacy is edging me into a low mood. 😔

New the right way of treatment
Since the drugs and alcohol have stopped completely 8 months ago my mind is clear except for the ADHD and how bad (squrily ) I am........ my wife was on board with the treatment of
vyvanse
started a few days ago, but thinks it does nothing. I disagree although I am having a tough time adjusting.

Side effects of Adderall XR
I find
vyvanse
and/or Ritalin to be helpful in terms of making me alert and functional which of course has the secondary benefit of improving my executive function issues.

I have taken
Vyvanse
and Adderall. Throughout my years of taking medication my dosage constantly fluctuated due to lack of eating socializing and behaviors. During my junior year of high school I decided to completely stop taking the medication because I felt I didn’t need it anymore.

5yo starting Vyvanse, side effects, worried mom
She prescribed him 20mg
Vyvanse
, and we gave him the first dose yesterday morning. There was noticeable effect during the day (followed directions after 1 prompt, maintained long conversations), but the immediate side effects have me anxious and feeling guilty.

Confused on what to do
I am currently taking 70 mg of
Vyvanse
and 2 mg of Guanfacine to help me manage my symptoms, and it doesn't seem to be helping a whole lot. I have currently been hyper focusing on finding tools that can help me manage my symptoms throughout the day, as well as doom scrolling through Instagram.

Vyvanse titration and career thoughts/tangent
- For those that are adding short acting stimulants to the
Vyvanse
, Ritalin or Adderall, did you find these made the
Vyvanse
less effective? and do you now take them every day or just when you need them? Appreciate your thoughts!

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.

Struggling with so much conflicting information about meds.
Hey guys I will [i]try[/i] to keep it concise (not my forte, but we have ADHD and don't want to overwhelm y'all with reams of text). 30mg
Vyvanse
/Elvanse), 5mg Lexapro and melatonin is my current combo.

Vyvanse
Wondering if anyone has experience with this…From 50 mg
vyvanse
to 30 mg and heart rate is still high. Anyone experience this and if so, how did you navigate through it for yourself for your adhd?

Great mornings, Ordinary afternoons.
- does upping the dose of
Vyvanse
generally make it last longer? - is there any way to prolong the effects of my current dose? - would there be any reason my doctor would be reluctant to prescribe the short acting medication? - would splitting my dose of
Vyvanse
actually work better?

I could use some advice for my son's meds.
Then his insurance stopped covering it and they switched him to
Vyvanse
. I want to say equivalent dose on that was 10mg at first. He did that for a few month and we had to bump him up to 15mg, then I think 20mg a month after that. Then 30mg a few months later.

Exhausted..
Switched to
Vyvanse
and that made anger even worse. Now we are trying the non stimulant route with intuniv 1 mg nightly (insert bed wetting) & no real change of hyperactivity or emotions. My son is ridiculously smart, actually being tested in the gifted and talented group this week at school.

Vyvanse Capsule or Tablet?
I am new to
Vyvanse
. Do the capsules work differently than a tablet? Has anyone tried both and what was your experience?

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.
