Post-diagnosis frustrations
Hi all, this is my first post here. I just wanted to share my story (mostly as a vent because I don't know anyone else with ADHD and need an outlet/support group) but hopefully this is helpful to others out there too. I am a young adult (26) working in science and had suspicions that I might have ADHD

Elvanse journey
This is 7 or 8 days into
Elvanse
. The first 2 days it felt so much better, I could be distracted by something, but go back to the task I was previously doing. I could remember to look at my list I KNEW WHERE THE LIST WAS.

Does anyone have any experience with Myadayis?
I take 30mg Vyvanse once daily and it works for about 6-7hrs. I work either 7:30-4pm or 12-8:30pm and Vyvanse helps me get through my shift but on my early morning shift it leaves me with no energy or motivation when I get home. When I work the evening shift I have to wait to take it so I have energy

My journey of medication - the first few months
It’s ended up a bit long so feel free to move on with your life if you need to 😜
Elvanse
Benefits vs Side effects: Benefits: Increased focus, I can be distracted by something and then return to the thing I was doing.

Side effects from switching between stimulants?
Hello! I spent the last month on Vyvanse and did not love it. I switched back to Adderall XR for a three days and now am back on the generic XR, which is what worked the best for me in the past (there was an insurance change that had me on the brand name XR, which caused a bunch of unpleasant side effects

Sensory overload on ADHD stims?
Hi! I found this forum here a week ago and thought I might find some support here because I don't know where else to go. I'm 22 and was diagnosed with mixed inattentive/hyperactive ADHD about 5 months ago. TL;DR - Vyvanse 30mg is working fairly well but only lasting ~4 hours and making me feel like very

Adhd med with low side effects wanted
My 11 year old has ADHD and ASD. He was on Vyvanse for 5 years and ended at 40mg a day. We took him off because although his focus was good, the side effect of him being grumpy instead of his usual happy personality was getting in the way of him socializing. We tried Concerta at 27 mg a day and he was

Sleep help
I started
Elvanse
yesterday and had excitedly fantasised earlier in the week that it would turn my brain off enough to fall asleep without any help, but alas it was not to be. I often feel like my brain has forgotten how to fall asleep at all.

Adderall 30mg immediate-release switch to Vyvanse
Started taking Vyvanse and I have been on Adderall 30mg for about 10 years. I am unable to concentrate/focus and want to know if anyone else has experienced this and if I should be able to focus on taking Vyvanse instead of Adderall within a week.

Supplements with medication
Hi. I was wondering if anyone has tried taking vitamins/supplements with their ADHD medications and if this helped? I have been looking into it for awhile but I dont know exactly what supplements to try! I am currently on Vyvanse 70mg and feel like around 11-12pm it wears off and I crash somedays. Hoping

New here :) Asking about referral process and what to expect
To add to the pharmaceutical cocktail I am now on
Elvanse
too and again, whilst these have helped manage some of the symptoms and allow to work more effectively I am still always shattered no matter what.

New to the forum, newly diagnosed, need some encouragement
Hi everyone, I recently got diagnosed with ADHD this past september 2020. Prior to that I battled with depression and an eating disorder. I have felt very alone through this journey...I am currently 28 years old. I suppose you can say I have been very high functioning while compensating for my struggles

Adderal to Vyvanse changeover issues
I have been on Adderal XR 15mg for 2 weeks, and just switched today to Vyvanse 30mg. I was extremely sedated once it kicked in (much like my first ever Adderal dose ) and through the day have been feeling fatigued, generally crappy, and increasingly depressed and anxious... Anyone else?

Focused later in the day after taking meds in the morning/early afternoon ??!
I tried a second smaller dose of
Elvanse
today (30mg in the morning 15mg at 1-2pm). Why do I feel more clear head and focused at ) 6pm than I did earlier in the day? Is that normal?

Hi does anyone else take Elvanse/Vyvanse and perscribed vortioxetine too?
I’ve done a bit of reading and it can lead to negative effects outweighing the benefits. My psychiatrist has told me to take it in the evening though. I believe taking at the same time wouldn’t be good, particularly in the long run with serotonin syndrome a possibility. Keen to know if anyone else has

New diagnosis- Not sure if my medication is working for me
I was recently diagnosed with ADHD after two years post-grad of struggling to succeed with my business. My mom also has adhd and was the original one who noted I might as well. Anyways I recently started medication with vyvanse and have already been bumped up to 50 mg. I am having a hard time figuring

Therapy for ADHD
I have a 13 year old with ADHD and he has been on medication for a couple years now. We have had trials of a couple of different medications before settling on vyvanse which is helping to manage his symptoms a little. However , he still struggles with organizational skills at school and home, remembering
